Finally, at 1:20, I went to the front desk and asked what was up. Apparently, my T was on call that day for emergency clients (I go to therapy at my university) and a girl had just come in in crisis. So I had to reschedule. Now I can't see my new T for TWO WEEKS -- after waiting nearly a MONTH for this appointment.
It's not their fault it's an underfunded uni clinic, and I feel very selfish for complaining when clearly this girl was in crisis and much worse off than me, but I am just a little upset and sad I couldn't come in today.

On the bright side, my new T stepped out and introduced herself to me and apologized for me having to reschedule. It soothed my (intense) anxiety about meeting a new T to know what she looks like and how she talks, so hopefully I'll be less nervous next time.
Ugh, I'm sorry. Why didn't they tell you that at the front desk when you checked in? At least you got to meet her briefly.
Thanks for this!
