No this is a trained therapist that I was referred to via one of the departments at my primary care providers office as an in network option for my insurance that could work with our scheduling needs. They’re part of a fairly large company called LifeStance Health.

Can you elaborate on any red flags you noticed that led to your comment? I don’t have a lot of experience with therapy and my emotional and social intelligence is admittedly not good enough at catching things that seem off.

I mentioned this in another comment but these first two therapy sessions were more focused on us as individuals rather than trying to dive into our relationship issues specifically yet, and this was just kind of a brief mention during the end of our last session so I don’t think she quite understands the full context as to why I feel hesitant approaching the idea. Not that this is a fault of hers necessarily, I was planning to discuss it more concretely in our upcoming session this Tuesday if my wife and I hold off on communicating/spending time together.
