The parents sit in on all sessions, although a couple said they wanted a female therapist.
I honestly do not really know my coworkers. Since we work in clients' homes we never see each other. I attended a Christmas party, but even with my last client canceling, I was still an hour late, and I did not feel I could stay very long.
We have since had a class, but I did not have an opportunity to interact with each other during the class, and another supervisor had a number of questions for me as soon as it ended.
I do not have any idea how much turnover other therapists have.

I can coach you so that you get virtually all rave reviews. It's all about expectations and meeting and exceeding those expectations.
Once the rave reviews start coming in, it won't matter what your immediate supervisor thinks.
We could do this publicly or privately, although the information is useful for everybody that works with the public as part or all of their job.
Let me know how you want to proceed and we'll play 20 questions.

I would greatly appreciate it. I have worked as a speech therapy assistant for a bit over a year while I try to get into grad school. I wish I knew why parents look for a replacement instead of saying "Hey Xist, I do not want you doing X anymore, do Y."
I have had a few cancel after one appointment, but it is supposed to be ongoing. I still see my two very first clients after sixteen months. I will mention grad school again, once I get to that level I will be far better qualified.
Hopefully things are momentarily stable; it seems like the office staff, my supervisor, and I are on the same page, although I would always appreciate help keeping the clients and parents happy.
Thank each of you for your responses! I hope you have a great day!
