OT Sunrise, try and view the situation this way: Your therapist's deep desire to help others, get the education to do so and go through having an office for accessibility and continuity...caused him to be a therapist. He would be a therapist anyway, but there's no way to do that and pay his bills so he could continue to help. You are helping him pay his bills so he can do what he loves and does best: help you.

OR

You have hired a consultant who is expert in the matters of the mind, emotions and "heart." Just like any other consultant (banker, CPA, lawyer, engineer) his resulting experience with you is not based upon what you pay, it doesn't change if you don't pay much or alot, the information he (they) give is based upon their expertise and that you have hired them to tell you what they know, and guide you along the way of the project you asked them to help with.

You aren't paying him to be a friend, or to care. He does that because of who he is. You pay him so he can have time to show you he cares.
