Not sure how their pay is justifiable under the second option if the client is doing the work? It seems less justifiable then.
A lot of professionals don't provide a product - the OP isn't when she teaches. Lawyers can't always guarantee you'll get the result you want when you hire them. Likewise doctors.
The difference I see between the OP and the psychologists in the first post is the OP is an employee, while the psychologist is self-employed and charged what clients are willing to pay.
I've only seen one therapist I thought was worth her fee, but she did more outside session than most will.
