First Therapy Session and Planning Begins

Monday, August 3rd continued.

The therapist looked very interested, Kelly saw the doctor was leaning forward a bit over the desk and had put her tablet to the side. "I'm going to have to ask a couple of personal questions now dear. Please take a few moments to gather your thoughts if you must but I need honest answers to these questions if we are to correct this problem." Kelly took a deep breath and then nodded for Dr. Valentine to continue.

"Are you a virgin, Kelly?" the doctor asked as she picked the tablet back up and started taking notes again. Kelly closed her eyes, took a second to compose herself, and replied "No, ma'am. I had sex with two different guys in high school". "Two different boyfriends I assume?" the therapist looked over at Kelly seeming very intrigued by the answer. Kelly **** the words from her mouth, "Yes, three times total, two different men". "So you are heterosexual?" Dr. Valentine asked. Kelly replied, "Yes, I've never been into girls". "One more question," the woman asked. "Are you on birth control?" Kelly looked confused and the doctor said, "If it comes to medication, this will be very important for me to know. Some **** don't work well together". Kelly nodded. "I have been on birth control since I was 16. You never know if something is going to ummm. . . happen" Kelly almost whispered back to her. The questioning continued in less personal directions for another half an hour.

"This has been a very good session, Kelly" Dr. Valentine purred back at her. "Don't worry, I think we can fix this one pretty quick. What I want you to do is give your class schedule to the receptionist and don't worry about a thing. We'll talk to your speech instructor and smooth things over for now. Hopefully, a few weeks of therapy and this problem will be in your rearview mirror." Kelly hopped to her feet looking very excited, "Thank you, doctor! I'll give it all to the receptionist just like you said!".

Dr. Valentine smiled and told her "We'll contact you in a few days with the details of your next session. Just go about your life like normal and we'll get back to you soon with details." The therapist offered a wide grin as she watched the young coed gather up her things. She shook the girl's hand and then held the door as she left the office. The doctor then waited ten minutes and stepped out into the reception area.

"Did you get all her information?" the doctor quizzed the receptionist. "I sure did, doctor" the woman replied. "Good. Call her instructor and explain Kelly has a bad case of Social Anxiety Disorder and we hope to have it fixed inside a month. Try and get him to put off any sort of public presentation until then. Also, be ready to call Mr. Pierce and arrange to have the therapy materials ready, probably three or four sessions. I'll have a quick writeup of what's needed in an hour or so. Her issue seems to be older men, I'm sure he'll be happy to provide help with this. Older men love college coeds" the therapist broke into a playful smirk.

"When he provides dates and times arrange it with our patient". The therapist walked back into her office and reached over to close the door. "Oh and Meredith?" Valentine asked. "Yes ma'am?". "Arrange a makeover or at least call her in early before the session and make her look presentable. Otherwise, the men might expect to be paid or something." The doctor closed her office door before the receptionist could answer.

Meredith smiled as she grabbed the phone to make arrangements. These therapy sessions were always so much fun!
