Oh Therapy Girl, that was so funny about her only making income from initial visits. I am still in shock over meeting her. And am getting paranoid now wondering if she was making some of that stuff up to scare me away back to the T I have been seeing. Because I can't conceive of how anyone with those standards could or would stay in business. The part with NO phone calls in between sessions sounds unethical to me. In this profession I would think it would be manadatory to take calls. And her attitude if someone is suicidal she would start calming them down five minutes before session was to end because she can't go over time even in emeregencies....well, I am just simply stunned. If she is serious I feel she needs to be reported to the board of ethics for the practice of psychology in the state in which I live because no one with any kind of serious mental or emotional health issues should even be around her as far as I am concerned. And the thing is, I liked her! I even told her I would "try" just seeing her for 45 minutes if that was her policy as I too had to be flexible but she then brought out her other arsenal of policies and I told her that the deal breaker then in this case was the no phone calls in between sessions. I mean I have never been one to call the therapist every day in between sessions but you should be able to reach ANY health care provider in between appointments. I am looking into if that is ethical because I swear, I WILL report her to the board of ethics if I can get a straigt answer on that one. I already called them and got some jerk who answered the phone and was about as helpful as a drunken I don't know...he was useless. He was just a complete (blank.)
