Most people aren’t embarrassed to be going to speech, if it was actual therapy I would have a problem with you not having a separate business account but for just cashing an occasional tip I don’t think you need a separate account.

but this doesnt really depend on what most people think

if there are legalities she needs to stick with that

and to the poster who shares confidential info with her husband I say - OMG

You’re trying to say there are no ethical issues here? What if you’re a reproductive endocrinologist and you say nothing about my situation but tell your husband you treat me? Dear G-d…

Typo, corrected. I hate autocorrect... I also clarified as I wasn't clear.
There is no difference- hipaa applies. I don't care if you are an MD, OT, SLP or a trauma mental health therapist. HIPAA and confidentiality laws do not allow for spouses to be told anything private or confidential.

Your husband cannot know who you see or for what issue.
