Reinforced handles. Built for a laptop plus files

Is it appropriate to give your therapist a gift?
Usually yes, if it is modest. Most clinicians can accept a small everyday item without it creating a problem. What causes discomfort is anything expensive, intimate, or implying a friendship outside the room, none of which applies to a tote bag.
