I don’t want to go into gory details, but every time I think of paying a therapist by credit card I think of a music video by Nelly thathad him swiping a credit card in a way really demeaning to women. (You’ll have to google if you want details.)

I have no problem swiping a card in a reader at a store. Or if the therapist has a receptionist, paying them. I doubt I’d have a problem paying remotely through an HIPAA compliant Venmo type of thing. But the therapist themselves, before or after a session...out comes the Nelly image.
