Accurate. Would add— 20 sessions per week is full-time therapy practice. Each case requires work outside the session hour (the paperwork, yes, but also thinking, planning and ,sometimes—worrying).
It is generally believed that therapists earn much more than most actually do. Most people assume lower educational requirements then are really needed for license and most don’t realize the high ethical standards expected.

hours would depend on how after hour emergencies are handled. neither can go into liquor stores….

Therapists also have to deal with an insane number of insurance companies, and are required to give a diagnosis in order to get reimbursed in some cases. From what I hear, that’s a great burden on many therapists.
