Good Heart:
As a GENERAL rule:
School therapists, Guidance counselors, Educational psychologists=ACCEPT
Marriage and Family Therapists:OFTEN Accept
Mental Health Providers (MSW, PhD., MD’s) for people suffering from mental illness: OFTEN DECLINE
While they thank you for the thoughtfullness they OFTEN DECLINE out of abundance of caution. Therapists in the OFTEN DECLINE category are excellent candidates for a nice personal thank you card and an “In lieu of” card. It is NOTHING to do with the patient, it is simply too risky in this day and age. Please understand what is trying to be relayed.
The main thing is keep smiling and have faith in the Rebono Shel Olam!
Happy Purim!!
