Key figures

  • PSYCHOTHERAPIST occupation itemizations sum to $13,834,530 from 179,041 contributions and 2,239 donors.

Highest repeat rate in this band

$13,834,530 is the occupation-level dollar total. 179,041 is the itemization count. 2,239 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $77. Mean dollars per donor record are about $6,179. Repeat giving is about 80 itemizations per donor record.

179,041 lines from 2,239 records is among the highest repeat rates in this harvest band. The per-line mean of about $77 is why the contribution count — not large checks — explains how $13.8 million accumulated.

These means are not typical-check estimates and not a measure of clinical-session income allocated to politics. The packet has no license field and no gift-size distribution.

PSYCHOTHERAPIST is not PSYCHOLOGIST

PSYCHOLOGIST, SOCIAL WORKER, THERAPIST, and COUNSELOR — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to PSYCHOTHERAPIST. This page cites only $13,834,530, 179,041 contributions, and 2,239 donors.

The FEC does not verify state therapy licenses. Psychiatrists who typed psychotherapist, social workers who used the word, and people practicing under neighboring titles can all appear. Occupation is the donor’s word on that line.
