@ashambean2 Looking for a good therapist can take some effort these days, as they seem to be so busy! What we did recently, was start with who in your area accepts your insurance. Take that list and delete those not taking new patients. If this person is for your son, then you want to focus on someone who has experience with young adults. Look up their background. Get an appointment, even if it is a long way out. Tell them you would like to be on the cancellation list, and take first available.

Meanwhile, continue to show your son love, let him know you are rooting for him and are on his side. Make is as easy as you can for him to open up to you, engage in conversations without reprisal, so he feels comfortable in talking. Let me know what you think of this idea?
