I am sorry that what she said made you feel stressed. That is not a good feeling to have going in to your first appointment.

I know that in my experience, some therapists schedule the first appointment to be 90 minutes instead of the usually 45 or 60. They usually call them intake appointments, and use the extra time to get more history and information right away. I wonder if maybe she is used to doing that, or is used to having clients who want that, so was maybe just trying to let you know (not very effectively) that this could not be the case here? I definitely think that, whatever the reason, she could have said it better, but there may have been a reason for her to trying to make it clear you only had one hour.

I hope everything goes ok. Keep us posted!

Hugs,
