Perhaps she's trying to limit her practice to the worried well. Certainly her speech would go a long way towards achieving that. But I agree that therapists ought to be up front about those things. Those initial sessions are often longer and cost more than continuing ones, and they can add up quickly for a client. Therapists ought to be sensitive to that fact.
My EMDR therapist was clear she'd only see me if I had a regular therapist because she didn't see anyone she thought might be high maintenance. Apparently I just screamed high maintenance to her. And I could definitely see biofeedback guy saying that, although I can't quite imagine why anyone would possibly want to see him between sessions or for longer than absolutely necessary during sessions.
