Maybe a plant or something for the office. I don't think it should be anything too personal since it's such a weird relationship. Most people I know don't give them gifts at all.

Absolutely not. They are not expecting a gift. Many therapists see receiving a gift as a "boundary crossing" and will not accept it. It will create an awkwardness that can interfere with your ability to work on your issues. Don't chance it. They don't need whatever knick knack you would give them as much as you need the appropriate therapist/client relationship you've built. Offer a happy holidays or a Merry Christmas and leave it at that.

you already do. every week (or however often you go) you give your therapist $200 to listen to you vent. just kidding. it all depends on how close you are. i would give a nice card and maybe some cookies or candies. dont go all out. will you be getting dentist a gift too?

If you feel he/she has helped you in some way, a small gift and a nice card is a nice gesture. Sometimes things like that make your job worthwhile, when someone reckognizes that you've gone above and beyond expectations.

no just a card with a thankyou. If you do feel compelled to do so a gift-card, but it could be construed as a conflict of interest

I'm sure he/she already appreciates the new car you fees purchased.
Isn't that enough of a gift?

It would certainly be a nice gesture. It doesn't have to be anything expensive, just something "little", like a candle or a Christmas ornament.

Definatly not! There is a boundary that must separate therapists and patients.

What do you think? ( that is what your therapist would say)

no.
your payment for their services would probably provide them with enough money for them to get YOU a gift.
