Finding a new counselor!
So here it goes I was at the doctor's office yesterday seeing my therapist and she tells me she's leaving and starting her business as certified counselor and hands me a flier to her business that's not all she did she asked me if I wanted to schedule an appointment with her at her practice without thing I said yes because I really do like her . The problem is when I home I saw red flags that I didn't notice before like she wouldn't give me the address of her business she said she didn't want to disclose that information right now and she would calle regarding that info. Is it legal to ask for clients while working for another company on their time? I also had just got out of the psychiatric hospital if that helps any the week before.

Put yourself in the place of a company owner. You have her for an employee. She is trying to get one of your clients to come to her business. Would you be happy if you found that out. Not sure if it's illegal but it certainly is unethical. If I were you, I would start looking for another therapist, either through the company/Dr.s office or somewhere else out there. You may have to meet with someone else for now, someone that you may not like as much, and keep looking for a new therapist. If you just got out of the psych. hospital, it's best that you do get appointments with someone right away, while you look for someone you really like.
About the therapist not willing to give a business address, she may be working out of her home for now or not have an office yet and is lining up clients first so she knows she can afford the rent of an office. If the Dr. office asks why you want to meet with someone new, you can either say it wasn't working out for you, or tell the truth of what she said. Perhaps the personnel of the hospital you just got out of could recommend another office you could try, but someone needs to know so they can check up on you and help any way they can.
