I am seeing a csw? How to deal with this?!


Question: I am seeing a csw? How to deal with this?
I am seeing a therapist for my anxiety/ panick attacks which i have struggled with since freshman year; but I only saw him one time and he rescheduled my appoinment. I need to talk to someone b.c this is not the way to live. Should i give him another chance or look for a LCSW a licensed social worker?

Answers:

Hi Romii!

Since he has your history it would be a good idea to give him another chance. If after the second visit you feel he is not the one for you, then look for another referral. You need to see someone who specializes in anxiety issues.

In the meantime if you need someone to talk to, our counselors are here 24 hours, 7 days a week to listen and to help with any problem. You can also go to our website for teens and e-mail a counselor if you prefer.

Take care and best wishes to you!

I don't know much about this, but I've heard the link below is good.

The decision of a therapist is a personal process that is about both the persons qualifications, your comfort with that person, and that persons ease of availability with you. I wouldn't break off with a therapist because of one rescheduled appointment however if there is a pattern of them rescheduling on you then it becomes a problem. I would if they fit your other needs in a qualification sense, are fairly easy for you to get to and covered by your insurance / in your price range see them.
