In reply to What is your T's fee?, posted by Skittles on October 22, 2004, at 23:46:50
Mine is a psychologist (Ph.D.) with 10 years experience and lots of extra certifications like EMDR and other "unorthodox" methods. He charges $90 for 70 minute sessions. My insurance pays him only $75. It can't be lucrative at all for him, especially since his sessions are long. However, he's been making a small fortune off of my support phone calls lately! I've become a steady part-time job for him! At first he insisted that I do not pay, but for anything over 15 minutes, I start to prorate his hourly fee. He realizes it's the only way I can accept his between session support, so he takes it. It's only fair to him, and it keeps everything "clean." Still, it cannot be a lucrative profession.
