I agree that the therapist isn't responsible for how much the other therapist would charge. But I would think that the therapist should at least lower the fees that I'm paying her each session so that I can afford to see the other therapist in-person. Is that unreasonable? It seems fair, just, and reasonable to me. After all, this originates from the therapist's personal life. She makes the accommodations. Not put it on me as the patient to go and figure it all out. I understand that this is a professional relationship and all that, but I mean, come on. We still have to be fair. If I'm a therapist, I would be making reasonable accommodations for my patient if the whole change and issue originate from me and my personal life. I wouldn't put it on the shoulders of my patient.

@WarmFuzzySocks: I have to see a therapist in-person if I want to continue doing therapy with the current therapist through phone or video call. She mentioned the legal side of things as well as how her malpractice insurance and how it's more of a liability on her part should something happen when I'm in a dark place. I don't want to start all over again with a new therapist; I wouldn't do that. That's why I agreed to her "condition."
