It'd save you tons of money, plenty of time and, possibly, a potential trauma.

Remember, you are a consumer and have the right to reject the service you don't feel good about.
I think my biggest hesitation is that during the consult, she might readily agree that repressed memories or whatever aren't my problem, but then once she gets to know me better she might change her mind and spring it on me and not accept no for an answer, because obviously the very nature of a repressed memory precludes your awareness of it...
