The caseworker said if I can get an appt. with a therapist, and she can call & confirm with the therapist that that appt. is set, she will close out the case. The therapy session does not have to be before Sept. 22, just scheduled before then. So, I am going to be working the phones like crazy tomorrow.

Why is it taking so long to find a therapist?!!
—-would she accept an online therapist?
—-this is incredibly good news. The first appointment is often scheduled a ways off. Obviously you can be very convincing. Work those phones as you mentioned. Don’t wait for an ED therapist, you can change later, just go for it!!!!
I know you will come up w strategy, like finding someone in some obscure location who might have a short waiting list, or getting a friend to intercede on yr behalf w their t. I only have friends in Ft Worth or I would offer. Speak up you people close to Blueberrys town!
