[QUOTE="klmno, post: 213986, member: 3699"] They are all part of the same group- they just have a few different branch offices. On their website, they give a little explanation about credentials and specialties for each one. Most descriptions include a photo of the therapist. The branch that is closest to me is small and only had tdocs that specialized in areas that seem fairly unrelated to my issues. The therapist I wanted is in a branch about 24 miles away. I wouldn't mind doing that a couple of times, but that could get quite time consuming on a regular basis. Plus, it's for me, which means I need to go when difficult child is in school so it cuts into my time at work too much. Anyway, her specialties that were listed appeared to be exactly what I need-- it pretty much covered every issue I have now and all that I've had in the past. And, her photo made it clear that she's about my age or slightly older and she wasn't dressed or posing looking like she was trying to impress anyone- she looked down-to-earth. So, that's the one I'd prefer. The other- they have no photo since she was relatively new at their offices, I guess. I tried to do an internet search to find out more about her, but all I get is her educational experience. I did ask about one specific issue when I called the other day and they said that this particualr therapist did not specialize in that. I'm not sure that I need to see a therapist weekly for a long period of time, so in a way, I'm leaning toward seeing the "far away" one for a few times, to clear some things up in my own mind, then, maybe seeing someone closer, even the other one at difficult child's therapist's office, once I only need to concentrate on difficult child related stuff. I've used the "try this one, there's nothing to lose" approach a few times. Then, I always feel worse because I went through the emotional ride of telling so much only to be disappointed and it makes me lose motivation to even go. [/QUOTE]
