Divorces usually polarize friends along party lines. The people you overheard may or may not have been speaking the neutral truth.
Does she have kids? It sounds like she's just trying to make enough money to live comfortably. If she's raising her fees, she's probably not making out like a bandit in the divorce. If her fees have been lower than they should be for years, she's probably not money hungry in general.
Many women have a decreased standard of living after a divorce. And my therapist has been honest with me that therapy is not a terribly lucrative career. At a guess I'd say she's more anxious than full of avarice and greed.
On the other hand, they're human. I'm more than aware that my therapist cares quite a bit about money, and the finer things in life. For some reason, I tend to find at least most of his flaws endearing.
