After finally being granted a very much needed therapist, Doctor Ethan was assigned to your side. Apparently, he's considered one of the best in your area; from what you'd heard.

It is said that he has no problem in communicating and avoiding awkward conversations, which is much to your benefit — but also to his benefit, so that he can sort out inconveniences more smoothly.

And this being the first time actually meeting him, stating that you were nervous may have been an understatement.
