Had my 13 year olds first session today. He did not want to attend so I bribed him and told him to do it today and he wouldn’t have to go to the next one until 3 weeks. After the session ended, he came into my room and asked if we could schedule it sooner than 3 weeks. I’m glad we found this therapist!
