Aloha everyone, I wanted to ask you all if this is normal and what would you do.
It started about 4 weeks ago when I found a therapist, this was what looked like a reputable therapist with good credentials. 
Well we made a appointment for a week after the first contact, great, I was excited and scared at the same time.  This is the first time I ever talked to anyone about my GID and my first therapist.

Okay the day came and I go online and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait some more, after 45 min, I emailed this person and a few hrs later this person responded saying they were so sorry that they forgot my appointment,  this person said it was on account of the time difference since I live in Hawaii, that was fine, so we made another appointment for 1 week from then.

Okay the day comes again and I go online and wait and wait and wait and you know the rest.  I emailed this person again and asked if I got my appointment right and later they emailed saying sorry again they had to do something and they did not find out about it until that day, well I was sad but I agreed to another appointment for a week from then.

Okay the day comes and about 20 min before my appointment this person emails me saying they need to move the appointment back 1 hr, no problem I am thinking, then I get another email saying they need to move it back 1 week, this time it is because of an emergency, that is fine and dandy but is that true?   What is going to happen next??
Is this a bad sign or is this normal, would you be upset?

What if I was at the point that I was contemplating some bad thing, I want to say I am not thinking of that dasterdly deed but what if I was, I sought this person to help me because it is getting to the point that I  need to talk to someone and now look, it tooke me months to find a person I could afford and that I did not need to get on a plane and go to another island.
Should I try again or just suffer here in the part of Hawaii that has no therapists that deal with GID.  Thanks

No, this is not normal, nor acceptable. Drop this person like a brick. I think many would also appreciate this person's name so they can be generally avoided.

Find another therapist.

Walk away. That was really unprofessional behavior.

Agreed. UNACCEPTABLE.

Okay, can you please tell us who you are talking about?
I'm considering using an online therapist by the name of Graham Peveller
and if you're referring to him then I'd like to know to avoid him.

One thing I would say find a therapist in HI. That face to face interaction is so helpful. I know you choices in HI are lower, I lived there myself for a few years, but someone that you can go and meet with in person will be better then someone on the internet.

Hi everyone, thanks for the replies, I do not want to tell the name but I will say the first letter of "her"  first and last name is M.L.  I think you all can tell from that information.
Jen Jen it is not your therapist, heck if you want to tell your therapist about my experience I would be interested in what he says about it.
Mahalo nui loa

And you cant share the name because?? Lol..if you found them on the net, its a good chance that anyone else on this site will want to avoid him and not take him from you.

Yeah that's friggin ridiculous and stupid.

Don't put up with that. Find someone else.

I've heard good stuff about Graham Peveller... I believe he is at www.gendertherapist.com

Not sure what's going on with the person you've been trying to see, maybe they are not normally so flaky... But whatever their problem is at the moment, they should be more responsible in regards to their client(s)... I would find someone else and demand a refund if you have paid for any services not rendered

Hi everyone, well I took all your advice and I droped Melissa Leonhardt  as a therapist,  I looked into Dr. Graham Peveller and I have had one session and will have another one tomorrow, he is a good guy, thanks for refering him to me JenJen.
Thanks again for all your help and advice, aloha.

Jennie

Yay I'm glad you found someone else. Hope it goes well =)
