I think therapists who don't have children can't know what it's like to raise them. I just don't. And if my therapist has children I expect him to put them first because that is my own priority. BUT I do think there are times--during emergencies-- when the client has to be the priority. That's part of the job. I've called my therapist nights and Sundays when I really needed to and he's always been there for me. Other times I try not to bother him in his off (family) time. And, as others have pointed out, he still maintains a full schedule working regular hours.

Not saying it's not useful to find a therapist who works off hours. I just don't see how it should be their responsibility.
