I simply want to see a provider that was willing to put in that time in order to practice.

The phd I saw held poker games with clients, told me I was "not allowed" to quit therapy with her, made bets with clients for a free appointments if she was wrong, told me she was the only person in my town who knew how to do couple's therapy properly, attended client's parties, and reduced most things to red brains and blue brains. (I have known a lot of people who tried her because she is openly lesbian). Her credentials are excellent. But the other stuff was way too much for me. She tried some of it on me, it did not work.
