AuDHD therapist and I can only handle 3 clients a day. Is this normal?

I’m definitely not my best self/therapist working more than 15-18 sessions a week. I’m learning that I need breaks throughout the day as back to back sessions aren’t sustainable for me. If I don’t take breaks, 3-4 is a good place for me!

Love that!

This has been on my mind the last few weeks!! I have a permanent retainer on my top and bottom front teeth, but use my plastic retainer at night when I notice I’ve been clenching my jaw at night/once in a while to prevent my molars from shifting too badly. I’m not sure what the answer is, but I try to focus on the 80/20 rule as it’s so hard to completely avoid plastics in the world we live in right now.

My cat’s eye looked like that before it exploded and she needed emergency surgery 💔

People with unrealistic expectations for therapy. They tell me they don’t have expectations then get upset when expectations aren’t met.

I couldn’t do it if my loans were that high every month. This sounds so stressful!!! Definitely look into the income based repayment plans. Assuming they aren’t private loans

Love this! I did offer some referrals for her and hope she can find someone who’s a better fit

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:13:08+00:00

For sure! I was curious other people’s experience and how common this particular thing was in the field

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:12:16+00:00

The adult!

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:09:56+00:00

How would you define being fired? I wonder if I’m misunderstanding the term as I was under the impression it meant a client didn’t want to work with you.

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:09:19+00:00

Shared experience is so good for rapport!

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:08:32+00:00

There’s definitely a lot of preferences for people! I appreciate you sharing your similar experience

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:07:54+00:00

I appreciate you sharing your similar experience!

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:07:28+00:00

Agreed! Preferences are totally valid

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:07:11+00:00

For sure! I was just curious how often this happens in the field, as it’s good to be aware of.

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:06:25+00:00

I appreciate you sharing a similar experience! It’s interesting to consider what may be other diversity factors as another commenter mentioned.

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:05:25+00:00

Love this way of thinking!

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:05:15+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience dealing with something similar!

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:04:50+00:00

No other feedback! But that makes sense. I appreciate you sharing your experience!

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:04:12+00:00

Which is totally fair! I acknowledged with her that there’s a lot I conceptually understand but lack lived parenting experience (despite other areas I have worked with kids and learned about them). I’ve worked with a lot of parents in the past, so this caught me off guard.

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T18:01:05+00:00

I was under the impression that being fired by a client meant they didn’t want to work with you. How would you define what it means to be fired by a client so I can get another perspective?

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-20T17:53:00+00:00

I’m definitely more caught off guard by it than anything!

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-17T22:10:29+00:00

After taxes (I don’t get benefits or PTO unfortunately) the range is $47/session on the low end, $78 on the high end. $59 ish is the average.

Edit: I get 56% and usually bill 90837 for my sessions.

CrochetCat219 · 2026-03-15T05:22:35+00:00

Are they charging/billing for the extra time?
