Sophie is a sixteen-year-old female gymnast who is also an Olympic hopeful. She is the only child of divorced parents and lives with her mother who she doesn’t see eye to eye with. Sophie’s father lives in a different state but they still communicate by telephone every once in a while. Sophie states she would rather live with her father because he is the only one who “truly loves and understands” her. Sophie is seeking treatment after a near-fatal accident where she was hit by a car while riding her bicycle. Sophie explains how the social worker she is working with suggested she get an evaluation because the social worker thinks there were suicidal intentions surrounding the accident due to a witness statement she saw Sophie ride her bike into the car. Sophie comes off as very defensive when talking about the social worker, how she is “stupid” and she just “wanted to kill her”.
