If you pay that much for a masters level T then I think you should get more for your money too - that is crazy money.
A 40 minute appointment for meds and therapy with my pdoc is $265, which is a little below average where I live. The rates I've seen tend to be dictated by their license and what insurance companies will reimburse. So if you see an MD or Doctorate level T, then what your paying is to be expected.
But for a social worker, counselor and even a psych nurse anything more than $175 or so (out of pocket no less) is egregious in my opinion. So if that's the case I don't think it's asking a lot to expect responses to your emails. I would just ask your T to be more consistent with their practices so you're never left hanging.
