Sorry this therapist isn't working out :-(

I agree with Xynesthesia -- the repeated cancellations are huge red flag. It could be a horrible coincidence that this T has had 3 family emergencies in a row, but it's not fair to you that you have to go into the office on three separate occasions and get told "sorry, T is out". That is unacceptable.

When my pdoc had a family emergency (which has happened to me twice), I got a call from his office telling me he wasn't going to be there and that we needed to reschedule. They had the professional courtesy to tell me beforehand (at least a few hours in advance). They didn't wait until I got there to say "sorry, pdoc is out".

I realize that family emergencies happen and sometimes there isn't always enough time to communicate that. *However*, three times in a row? THREE TIMES? No, that's not professional. I can understand it happening once or a few times, but definitely not 3 times in a row. Something there is off. But yes, do give this T the opportunity to explain herself if you want her and she's the only T you can get. It's the best (and only) thing you can do.
