Does my teen need therapy?

I recommended thriveworks to a friend and she booked an appointment. She told me the provider she got (not mine) jumped very quickly into intake questions without any greeting and it made her feel uncomfortable. She switched providers after that.

I work with Christian Hansent, and the experience has been amazing. Christian has genuine empathy and compassion coupled with detailed knowledge of scientific principles and a drive to improve the lives of his clients. This is my first experience going to therapy and my only regret is that I didn't find Thriveworks sooner. Thank you!
