Hello! I have a single-member LLC business as a counselor; can I deduct my personal psychotherapy sessions as a business expense?

To deduct business expenses, they must be considered both ordinary and necessary:

The IRS definition of ordinary is common and accepted.

The IRS defines necessary as helpful and appropriate.

If your therapy expense meets both definitions, you can deduct it.
