I can offer some general insights.
Whether therapists take a break during the summer can vary depending on several factors:
Private practice vs. institutional employment: Therapists who run their private practice might have more control over their schedules and can decide to take a break during the summer. On the other hand, therapists employed by institutions or agencies might have to follow the organization's policies regarding vacations and time off.
Client demand: Therapists might consider the needs of their clients before deciding to take a break. Some therapists may plan their vacations strategically to minimize disruptions in their clients' treatment.
Personal preferences and burnout prevention: Like any profession, therapists also need breaks to avoid burnout and maintain their well-being. Taking some time off, including during the summer, can be important for self-care and maintaining their effectiveness as therapists.
Continuity of care: Therapists may also collaborate with colleagues to ensure continuity of care for their clients during their absence.
In many cases, therapists will inform their clients in advance about their planned breaks, and they may offer referrals to other professionals if needed. If you are working with a therapist and are concerned about their availability during the summer, it's best to communicate with them directly and discuss any potential arrangements.
