[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 327846, member: 5941"] I'm coming in late to this discussion but I read through the previous posts, and let me say I am disgusted and upset for you and your family. How can they be so %^%$*$ petty? My difficult child 1 is now 19, and when she was 13 she started seeing a therapist at a local clinic. She is slow to develop trust but she came to really like this woman and opened up. Then therapist left to take a new position at a high school. My daughter was devastated, and it was like starting at square one again. so I can imagine your worry and frustration. She did meet another therapist at her middle school (p.t. employee of school-based heath clininc) and developed a nice rapport with her. She ended up seeing her outside the clinic when school ended for another three years (at a clinic and then in her own practice). The clinic she had joined after her middle school practice was a large community based one with a huge turnover, particularly of the younger MSW's who were fresh out of school, so I don't think they had a noncompete clause (don't know how they would have enforced it). In any event, most of the clinicians saw private patients on the side because they couldn't have lived on what they made at the clinic. I am so sorry for your trouble. I wish I could think of something that would work, but it sounds like this clinic is micromanaging their staff to a ridiculous level. I think you're better off finding another clinic, that's for sure. [/QUOTE]
