If I were in your shoes, I would start looking for a different T. The biggest red flag is that you've told her that panic attacks aren't a primary issue for you and that you'd prefer to tackle the more pressing issues first-- and she has refused to listen. If 2 sessions in she's already ignoring your input and pushing her agenda on you, that says a lot about her approach as a T. She thinks that SHE knows best and she is uninterested in what YOU think/know/feel about yourself. At this stage, your T should be LISTENING to you and learning about you rather than telling you what to do. It sends the message that she has very little respect for you, your ability to understand yourself, and your insight into your own history, patterns, issues, etc. Personally, I could not work with a T like that-- because it wouldn't be a collaboration. It would feel much more like a dictatorship. Add to that the lateness, the looking for worksheets (which seem impersonal), and the exorbitantly high fee-- and I'd be out of there!

In my experience, the best Ts have been the ones who really seem to be listening to me, remember what I've said from session to session, are interested in my own insight, and see the therapy relationship as a collaboration.

As far as price goes, it seems that "average" is $80-$150 per session, without insurance. However, if a T offers a sliding scale, you could be paying much less. If it were me, I would probably look for a T that is closer to that price range. I see no reason to pay $250/session unless that T has particular expertise in a niche area that you absolutely need or you feel like that T is the ONLY one who can help you.
