Thank you for your concern Imapatient! Fortunately things went very well, although I think I must of opened the floodgates on her rather then a mere orientation/introduction . I was quite hesitant at first I suppose but in the end I'm glad I went, now the unfortunate part is that her schedule is apparently booked until 3 weeks later.

By the way, would it (or is it) appropriate to ask questions concerning the therapists themselves? For example, questions regarding their personal experience or academic qualifications concerning a certain subject or group (like poor self esteem and teenagers). I know therapy is supposed to be more one sided towards me, however I'm still quite curious on behalf of her past experiences.
