What do marriage and family therapists earn around The Woodlands?

Marriage and family therapists in and around The Woodlands are surveyed as Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX, one labor market for these purposes. The figures describe everyone doing the work there, not the people who graduated from the programs above.

Median annual pay for marriage and family therapists, metro against state and nation
Area Median Employment
Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX $44,140 360 employed
Texas, statewide $46,300 1,380 employed
United States $66,940 66,740 employed
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025, SOC 21-1013.

Between $36,920 and $91,880 sit eight in ten of the therapists counted here. The gap between those two numbers is larger than the gap between most metropolitan medians, which is why setting matters more than location.

This work makes up 0.25 times as much of employment in the Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX area as it does nationally. Take that as the size of the local market rather than as a signal about earnings, which the survey reports separately.
