I think the parties have different sorts of power. The client hands the therapist money in exchange for time. The client can terminate with no notice, explanation, or reason. Therapists need money. It is a K and each party has something the other is seeking - the client buys time and the therapist gets money from the client. The client can take their money elsewhere just like the therapist can quit selling time to the client. IT is a business contract.
