Interviewed 2 Psychiatrists today for my son who is suffering from?

anxiety and worries, which seem excessive for a 9 year old boy. The first doctor wanted to take 3 sessions to get to know my son and have us parents fill out several questionnaires/surveys on our opinions about our son’s issues/personality etc. He said then by the 4th session he would have a general idea of what is really wrong and we could discuss where to go from there. He was kind and easy to talk to.
The second doc was more “business like” and said that she would more than likely only spend one session getting to know my son and then start treating the anxiety. She actually gave me examples of some of her treatment styles: role playing and tricks for the kids to remember when they start to panic etc. She also said that she felt it was important for parents to be involved.
I’m leaning toward the second doc, does anyone have any suggestions, insight for me?

I agree with you on the secound doctor. The brain is a muscle that can be trained to do different things. It sounds like this Dr. understands this with her tricks for your son to remember.
The first Dr. seems to be milking some time out of your money.
