How is your relationship with your child? Are you able to communicate your concerns about the affirming therapist? It’s more likely that an in-network therapist is going to follow “standard practice” which is to affirm. Would your child be open to working with a different therapist if you offered such?

No, we have exhausted too many therapists for being affirming but he really needs therapist for other issues as well. He is mad for pulling the plug on the others because they were too affirming. He wants affirming. All I know of this new therapist is that she is middle age as he put it- So I am hoping she is onboard with seeing this as a social contagion.. They only had one session so far. Once I get her name from bill I can look into her profile. But pulling him out of this therapist will strain our relationship even more and he needs help for depression anxiety and trauma. Idk what else to do. Thank you.
