How do I know if you'll be a good fit for my child?

I always suggested you meet me and have your child meet me for at least two sessions before deciding if it will be a good fit.  I truly believe the best therapy takes place when the client feels comfortable in the therapeutic relationship.  If it turns out that I'm not the best therapist for you or your child, I will be happy to recommend another.  Unfortunately it may take a few therapists before you find the 'right' one for you or your family.
