How do I find a therapist who understands issues of extremely gifted kids? Our therapist (whom we've met twice) is very nice but seemed rather overwhelmed with our son's issues, his very lopsided assessment, etc., and doesn't really seem to have a plan beyond getting my son to be able to self-monitor his anger. I read an article by Barbara Probst which seems to really pinpoint his issues--perfectionism, inflexibility, sensitivity--but she's in NYC and we're in Boston. She's willing to consult by phone but I'm not sure how that would work. Any ideas? Trying to get a portfolio together to apply to the young scholars program meanwhile . . .
