My therapist and I worked out that he would charge me for calls of 15 minutes or more. And as it happens, I usually pay him a percent of the time for any call that approaches ten minutes even if he doesn't request it. In fact, I prefer that I do it before he can request it because it's less hurtful to me that way.
But the point is that we worked that out. He didn't spring it on me after the fact. It's fine to have whatever policy she might have about calls. But it should be clarified before the charge is billed, not after. It is unprofessional not to be upfront about charges.
I'm sorry she didn't return your call. :( It sounds as if she's angry at this point. I know they aren't supposed to be angry if we quit, or semi-quit, or if we are angry with them. But they do at times anyway, and if she is angry it's probably best for *you* if she pulls herself together and remembers her professional identity before she calls you.
