She was very kind but I found her asking questions to complete an intake form that I was previously giving answers to. By the end of it I was requesting to meet weekly and she was pushing it a month out while also trying to put me on medication that I kindly declined. I also felt rushed as she kept mentioning something “due to time” and ended the call 20 minutes early. The other thing that made me decide not to see her further was when I got emotional about a question and she disregarded my emotions and wanted to continue the checklist on the intake form instead of diving further into my emotions.
