I agree there's ethics around payment.

Psychologists strive to contribute a portion of their professional time for little or no compensation or personal advantage.

But this is enough reason for me to not want to see this T again:

Finally, when I had to terminate therapy (again for financial reasons), I told her I had no money but could I come for a closing session. She said no, I could come back when I had money.
