In terms of not needing anything in return--I mean psychologically, emotionally. Of course payment is considered needing something in return.
Yes, I agree that some therapists are needy and may even be attracted to the profession to get their needs met (need to be adored, need to fix people, etc.). That's one reason why I would not go with a therapist who didn't have years of their own therapy working through those needs.
