[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry that you are dealing with this. She sounds like she is having symptoms of mental illness, and while something else medical might also be going on, she obviously is in need of immediate help. I don’t know where you live, but if you can get her to Shepherd Pratt, I would do so. You should also talk to the social worker and psychologist at her school and ask them to help hook you up with services. Your county likely has someone who can help access mental health services in tandem with the school helping you navigate this.

The therapist you mentioned sounds like a dingbat. She should have been doing parent coaching with you. Kids do lie in therapy, but it’s part of the process, however, you should have had time with the therapist yourself.

Thanks for this reply.  Does it sound like I should be aiming for another therapist , or go directly to a psychiatrist? I don't know what Sheperd Pratt is but I will look it up. [/quote]

I’d go to a major mental health center because this case is more difficult than normal, and it could get bad fast. Shepherd Pratt is the leading psychiatric hospital and other services in the area. Expensive. Please pitch a call to your insurance first about what’s covered.  After you’re done at a solid center, you should be getting advice on what kinds of therapy would be effective for you and your daughter. So mental health urgent care visit and quick work up first, therapist second.
