Hi All,
Just wondering what others think about the rate that they're paying for therapy. Also, wondering if you think this type of discussion should be "off the clock."
My rate was $85. About a year into it, right around the time I was considering quitting, I said I couldn't pay that rate and basically my therapist let me pay what I thought I could pay: $60/session, once/week.
Tonight we discussed her increase in rates in general for 2004. For current clients paying $85 it goes to $90. For new clients it's $100.
I need to mull what I want to do. I feel greatful she allowed me a year at this really low rate and don't want to take advantage of her or of that *but* I still feel funny paying $85/session (not to mention $90) out of pocket (insurance doesn't cover it.)
I know there's no "answer" but I just was wondering how others process rate increases and how you come to a decision about how much or whether you can pay.
Thanks!
Rigby
