I'm about to start therapy at home for the summer (I was seeing a counselor at school before). I live in a rural area so there aren't too many options. My psychiatrist, doctor, and anyone else I've talked to all seem to agree there's one therapist who stands out from the rest and specializes in my condition and age group. However, she's an old friend's mom. I'm not friends with the person anymore, she's somebody I might say hi to occasionally if we cross paths but thats it. The therapist is someone I was vaguely acquainted to but thats it - and she's acquainted with my mom too. What I'm wondering is, would it be a bad idea to go to a therapist if I'm familiar with her and her daughter, and they kind of know my mom too? She seems like the best option around so I'm considering it but I'm not sure if maybe I should just get one of the other therapists who is a complete stranger.

<font color="blue">NO. This is not okay. Especially if she knows your mother, and you are living in a small town... all sorts of red flags here. Check out bordering towns directories of psychologists. Best of luck~~ </font>
