My former T, wouldn't accept a small token of my appreciation when we were moving with job relo.
He claimed he follows the code of ethics psychologists are suppose to follow, one was not accepting gifts from clients.
It hurt me deeply, though it was not intentional.
I guess it depends on the T's personality too, I mean all I was leaving him, was a natural rutilated quartz pyramid,about 3 inches wide, something one would put on a shelf or desk. Well anyway he refused it and said "keep it and you can remember me by it." I think a card is fine, and doesn't fall into the category of a "gift", in case your T is following everything by the books.
My last T was not a PhD, just a Licensed Social Worker, I had her choose one of the scarves I knitted while I was on a knitting jag back then, I guess she was allowed to accept cause she was retiring and moving out of state, so technically it could of been viewed technically as a little "retirement gift" thingy.
That was a pleasant experience and different circumstance than the first and former T.
I wish you well, and that this will be a pleasant experience as you move on.
