I searched for a t with particular areas of expertise, read reviews, looked at experience and credentials before selecting her. She has lived up to my expectations. She gathers information somewhat methodically and has connected some dots for me. She is working up a plan for me to spot red flags and actions to take, not just listening to me whine. I don't know her all that well and probably never will. The sessions are all about me. She is not a robot; she does show compassion when we are on something hard for me to talk about. At this point, I would be surprised if she suddenly started opening up.
