This woman was absolutely disgusting to me. I contacted her for an appointment to talk with a professional about my adhd. She was nothing but unprofessional, cold, and unemotional towards me the entire time we interacted. I asked her to cancel my appointment after feeling gross about talking to her, which she did, and she said she could not see me in the future, and I said sounds great! She responds with a :) and I said please do not contact me any further and remove me from your system and she continued to send me another :) after I just asked her to please not respond to me
