My therapists birthday is this week and I have an appointment with her tomorrow. She has helped me get through soooo much the past 10 months I have been seeing her and I really wanted to give her a gift but I wasn't sure if it was allowed or not. I thought maybe it would be OK since I made it and didn't pay any money for it. What do you all think? Please be honest because I don't want to be embarrassed if she says she can't accept it.

Just depends on your T . Did she say anything up front regarding gifting her? Most T's that have strict rules about "no gifts" make sure that is part of the "rules and regulations they have for their practice .. If yours didn't ,, Your homemade gift would be a very kind thing to do.

Let me just say first off I love my therapist she is amazing and helped me with so much but I would not get her a gift unless it was a last goodbye thanks for all your help type of thing and it'd probably be a thank you card, now I have issues with getting close to people so maybe it's easier for me to look at our relationship objectively but I do not feel it is appropriate to give her a bday gift maybe a greeting by saying Happy Birthday if I saw her around her birthday but she is the same as any other professional you go to so it isn't rude or weird to NOT get your therapist a gift in my opinion and a simple Happy Birthday by mouth is better than a gift again that is only my opinion.
