Questions for anyone out here that can answer, those that have had therapy or their children having had it or still doing so..
Question?..
My Son meets Thursday with new Therapist.. I am going along to meet Him and support my son...
What do I look for in this therapist?.. Should I be looking for anything?...

Having been a counselor and being in counseling, I can tell you the best way is by trying a few sessions to see if both the client and therapist click. If not the therapist will/or should be willing to discuss the issues with the client and referr them to someone else who might click with them better.
The questions Sandra gave you are really great, but I believe that you won't really know until after a few sessions. If son is not feeling comfortable by then, it is time to ask for a referal until her finds someone he really clicks with.
A good counselor will not force a client to work with them if they are not comfortable.
I hope this helps,

I took my son to see a Therapist when he had anger issues over our divorce and the biggest thing I looked for was if my Son got along with him, regardless of how I felt about him.

(((((Cat)))) Just wanted to send some hugs of support. It's really wonderful that you are getting so involved in this with your DS. Your guidance will help tremendously. I'd do all the checking you feel you need to do on the therapist. Finding one that "clicks" is key. Good luck and lots of hugs to you and DS.
Thanks Ting..
Your ((Hugs)) and support are very nice..I am trying to get more involved.. As long as Ex doesn't kick up a fit anywhere and that can happen at any time.. My Son has obviosly been walking on broken bits of glass (so to speak) as I was for years..*Sigh.. But with love and communication between I and my Son's hope-fully it won't go any where but Up
