Both mine and my husbands therapists work for clinics. They don’t do their own billings and don’t run their own shops, so they can’t start charging something different.

I don’t think it’s anything to do with them being greedy or having one heck of a nerve.

I provide education and service online and I don’t believe it’s the same as face to face but I’d be hurt if people said I have a nerve to get the same paycheck. I do my best with what’s I am supposed to do under the circumstances. I don’t put any less of me into my work than face to face. Why would people be paid less? Those of us who are forced to work online didn’t create pandemics and dont wotk any less than we normally would and we still have to eat and pay bills just like everyone else.

Do you pay for your sessions out of pocket or insurance covers some/all of it?
Thanks for this!
