Ambria’s therapist. Ambria has mostly seen her every other week but has recently gone to weekly.
She was getting a very skewed understanding of what was happening in Ambria’s life, so I recommend we start doing part of our sessions together. Someone else – maybe Ambria’s pediatrician Jessica Ivers – recommended we not do any combined sessions, so I see her once per month. This has resulted in much fewer phone calls with admonishments for half-truths Ambria had told her.
Ken Mayeda gave the opposite advice of Dr. Ivers and suggested we should have family therapy sessions.
