Am I not "hearing" her by continuing to try to get her to go even though she's told me she doesn't want to? I hate to think I'm "forcing" her. I just want her to get help. I've asked her to give it a try. Do you think it is OK that I insist she go to a few sessions? Or is this totally counterproductive?

Ask her to go to at least one session. She can be reasoned with I'll bet, as long as you don't use negative reinforcement or punishment if she still disagrees. Basically, the best and worst thing you could do is bribe her. Have some sort of nice dinner/meal and let her choose what she wants. I know it sounds ridiculous, but teens will do lots to get a reward. I know I did, and I still do!!

Good luck.
