Your friend calls you and tells you that his therapist is suggesting cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). You mention that you have been learning CBT at your practicum, and that it is an empirically validated therapy. Your friend then asks if you would be willing to conduct phone therapy with him, and he would be willing to pay you to be his therapist. He feels that, because you have known him for a long time, you will be better able to understand his situation than his new therapist. What would be an appropriate response?
A) I would, but I'm not licensed yet. Ask me again after I become licensed.
B) Sure My hourly rate is 35.
C) It's actually against my code of ethics to enter into professional relationships with friends. I think you should work with your current therapist, and I would be happy to support you as a friend.
D) I'd be happy to do therapy with you, but I won't accept payment since you are my friend.
