I have been seeing a social worker through a family service organization for a variety of issues for about two years. During this time, I have experienced one life crisis after another. I lost a young pet due to the incompetence of a veterinarian; I lost two jobs; I am faced with the loss of my home; money issues; family problems, etc.

This therapist seemed nice enough, and I am coping pretty well, all things considered. But I feel stuck. Plus, my therapist just did something that I am very concerned about.

I had to reschedule our usual appointment because I had to go out of town. I called the agency and did so. My therapist later called me to remind me to make an appointment. That seemed odd, because I already had. So I called her back and left her a message to inform her that I had made another appointment, letting her know the day and time.

However, my therapist scheduled another client for that time slot without consulting with me. I was FURIOUS! Then she lied about by saying that she did call me to let me know. She did no such thing.

If she had called and asked me if it was okay to schedule another client during my time slot, I would have been fine with that. But the fact that she did this without consulting with me, then lied about this is very upsetting to me. She also made a fool out of me, because I got so angry that I called the agency and left an irate message.

I feel as though she has betrayed my trust by lying to save her own butt. I would appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.
