Hi_Five tells us more.
OP here - uh, no. You are making things up out of whole cloth. I would never self-diagnose my kid. We have been through years of trying to get the best help we can find, and that does not include charlatans, vaccine-deniers and the internet. Try again.

Consider contacting the local school district for other recommendations. They work with therapists often and usually can direct you to someone professional and caring! You clearly are doing your best to give your child everything he/she needs and that is something commendable! Better luck next time OP
It could depend on what services you needed- but a friend of mine is heading towards retirement and is just working part time right now (not even half but a .25 position) and at her job she is the ONLY therapist. She tries to see the kids she can, but in a situation like yours- the kindest thing to say would be "Yeah, I'm full". Especially in young kids you want to get them as much intervention as possible when they are young so unless she thinks she can manage ones that are referred to her (it's a state program btw, she's not in private practice)- she tells them the best she can do is 4 times a year BUT they are welcome to go to another program with the results from her testing to be seen more often.
630 people, HOW DOES SHE DESERVE THAT?!!

It is very important for psychologists/social workers to separate professional and private emotions and actions. That being said, did you really think you could acquire the therapist's services by making her feel sorry for you? If you present with a real, important problem, you have much better chance of interesting her enough to take your case even if she is overbooked.
OP here - no.
45 minutes?! Sheesh. She could have stopped you.
I don't mean to sound like an ass here but she probably didn't want to listen to your families problems
This is therapist code for: i think you ate the problem, not your child, but if i tell you that you wont hire me anyway so i just save me your angry outbreak.
People can be so unprofessional sometimes..best of luck to you and your child in finding someone better.

Why would she even speak to you in the first place if she knew she was full? Way to waste your time, esp for something that's so delicate. I hope you find someone better.
That's really unprofessional I can't see why they are highly recommended. I hope you find a good therapist to help you with your kid. Special need therapists can be really great if you get a good one. I know this because I use to see one for medical related anxiety problems... Best of luck OP.
