Whether or not you can afford her
Don’t feel embarrassed to tell a therapist that her price is too high for you. Therapy is the one place you’re supposed to be honest about all of your shortcomings, including financial ones. If you’re starting from a place of pretending to be wealthier than you are, you’re already starting from a lie, and that’s not good. Also, logistically speaking, spending more than you can afford will only bring more anxiety into your life, when anxiety might be the thing you’re trying to work on in therapy. So tell your therapist if you can’t afford her. She may do a sliding scale for lower-income clients, or she may be able to refer you to someone in your budget.
