So I think that a therapist should absolutely be available via phone and e-mail if needed. I guess upon reflection I wasn't clear how I would define "out of session contact." When it becomes problematic is if it's content that's related to the actual business of therapy. Would I allow it? Maybe, I have a few years before I begin practicing before I figure that out. But whatever I decide I would make my concerns explicitly clear with my client if and when it came up, and I would make sure to have that conversation before any therapy-related contact took place. But if you're trying to reschedule an appointment or ask a billing question, that's fine.
