If you decide to become a therapist, you have to work hours that are convenient for your clients. If you don't want that, well don't become a therapist. I see this attitude all the time and it strikes me as incredibly selfish and clueless.

My T had one day a week when she stayed until 7:00 but otherwise worked 9:00-4:00. My psychiatrist is more flexible and has a day with early morning hours starting at 6:20 and another day when he stays later until 7:00. I've never had a provider who worked on a weekend, however.
A Ts schedule really depends on the clients they serve. If they have enough clients working strictly 9-5 and those are the hours they like, then I don't see why that is obnoxious. If a T can't carry a full case load with those hours they'll adjust them to suit clients. It comes down to what works best for a therapist's business and life.
