The reason I met with this therapist is because I am adding mental health counselors and therapists to my network of professionals to whom I can refer my prenup, divorce, and divorce mediation clients when the need arises. I believe it is better for my clients to have several different counselors to choose from, so that the client can select the counselor which is best for them and their own unique needs and circumstances.
And lately the need for these services has increased greatly, in large part due to the increased stress my clients are feeling as a result of the continued economic slowdown in the county.
My new therapist colleague sat me down in her office (I admit it felt a little odd), and encouraged me to talk about what I needed and wanted. So, I explained to her that I was there to learn about her practice and how she could help my clients. We had a nice talk. It was fun.
I don’t know how many of my clients will ultimately meet my new therapist, but the fact that she is there and available to them and to me can only help me and my clients in the long run.
