How much therapy before adding meds?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I am wondering how long people would try therapy only before

adding meds?

My son (7) has had 2 therapy sessions. The first one was more of a

background info session though. The therapist said she usually gives it 3

sessions before recommending meds. I am not against medicating him if he

needs it but would like to give therapy a good try first. 3 seems awfully

short.

His symptoms seem to be escalating though, so I am not sure what to do. And

I have no idea if I have chosen a good therapist or not, she was on my

insurance plan and had an opening and I was desperate. Anyone around the

Cinci area and want to share a therapist recommendation?

Thanks,

Annie
