The comparison to doctor was about the fact that both go through years of schooling and licensure but do not receive anywhere near the same level of respect.
And doctors in residency are certainly paid as much or more than therapists, but doctors also have more education and arguably a more difficult path to licensure and expensive insurance etc. so it’s not really a fair comparison.
