Hi Sweepy, I'm glad you asked a neutral question, ha. Even though I opened this can of worms, it's not fun!

I pay $100 per hour of therapy. It was $80 but she had to raise her rates in the new year, so that's a bit of the issue too, a little part anyway- that it costs more now for less time. Half of the fee goes to her, half of the fee goes to the agency.

So, she charges less than some therapists, but it is still certainly expensive to me. She charges somewhat less for emails, usually $50 for a fairly long, involved email session, where I write maybe.... several pages and she replies a few times.

I did just hear back from her, she said we could change sessions from Thursday to Friday, so instead of me wanting to do a couple emails maybe I can just do one for the Tues-Thurs period and nothing major on the weekend, sigh. I don't know, I find life so stressful, ha.
