    How much does a PhD / PsyD earn in Florida?

    PhD / PsyD roles we recruit across the US are advertised at roughly $92k – $145k, typically $92k entry, $115k mid-career and $145k at senior or supervisory level. In Florida, where an individual offer lands inside that range is driven by licensure, setting, caseload and local cost of living rather than a state-wide average. High-volume ABA and pediatric therapy market with strong Medicaid-funded demand. Bilingual Spanish clinicians are the scarcest hire in South Florida.

    • LMHC, LCSW and LMFT are licensed by the Department of Health, with registered intern status pre-licensure.
    • Setting: Autism diagnostic clinics, Hospitals, School districts price differently for the same credential.
    • Caseload cap and billable or productivity target, which decide whether a bonus is real.
    • Metro cost of living within the state; a city premium is not the same as a better offer.
    • Scarcity: Acute in autism diagnostic assessment, where waitlists are long and evaluators are scarce. School psychology shortages are structural in most states.

    Why we do not publish a FL average

    We publish what we actually see advertised on roles we recruit. We do not hold a statistically valid state-level survey, so quoting a Florida average would be guesswork dressed as data. For official state wage estimates, use the federal source and treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a target.
