I am looking for a good therapist to see my seven year old daughter. I would like to go off of a recommendation other than just picking a name out of the phonebook. The pediatrician gave me a name but the therapists location is too far for me. I need to find one that offers evening appointments too. My daughter is exhibiting behavior such as stealing, lieing and throwing fits. She has been diagnosed with adhd and is currently on medication along with us doing some behavorial modifications. She is really immature for her age as well which causes issues for her with her friends as you can imagine. I am really getting very concerned about her and am at a loss as to what to do. I feel as if she's crying out for attention but in the wrong ways. I watch her when she is outside playing with the neighbors kids and noticed that she is somewhat excluded from the goup of kids that are her age so she tends to play more with the kids younger than her. I can't tell if she realizes that it's that way or if it bothers her. She doesn't talk about it at all. I know that it could be part of the reason of her acting out. She's under the special ed umbrella at school due to past speech issues and some learning disabilities that she has. I realize she is on a different track than most kids and that's fine. My concern is her stealing, lieing and the throwing fits. We've punished her when she's been caught and tried to explain to her why it's wrong etc. but it doesn't seem to bother her. I want to nip this in the bud before she gets too much older because if we don't we are going to have some major problems. Any suggestions for a good therapist in the Waxahachie area or just any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

What can I do next?

Check out this web site http://hopeandafuturellc.com/ this counselor is wonderful! I know her personally. She offices out of Midlothian Bible Church and I think she does do evening sessions but not positive. I would highly recommend her. My mom has counciled with her and she's who I would take my kids or other family to if and when it's needed.

Good luck and God Bless!!!

It might be too far for you. We use Dr. Heath in Desoto. We have only used her for a short time, but so far I really like him and my daughter does too.

I highly recommend Jackie Allain in Midlothian. She has evening hours and is great with kids ###-###-####
