Not once you factor in taxes and overhead (rent, utilities, self-employment insurance, etc.).
If the therapist makes $3000/week, about a third will go in taxes if they have no dependents or just a spouse. (I also think self-employed taxes may be higher.). They have to contribute to Social Security and Medicare, pay for their own health insurance if a spouse doesn't cover them, and probably state taxes too. Say their office rent is $1000/month for two rooms. Or say they have an assistant with a salary, who also has money deducted from their paycheck. I would imagine that three thousand can become 1000 or less a week very quickly.
