Rec for child therapist or books

I'm thinking about having DD see a therapist. She is an awesome little girl but soooo emotional and dramatic too. She is super attached to me and really dislikes going anywhere if I'm not going. She is always asking who I love better her or DS. She tells me she thinks I love/like DS better. Everytime I do anything with/to DS she wants me to do it to/with her too. Sometimes I just can't. He's only 3 so yeah I can pick him up really high to try to touch the light but I can't picker her up since she is almost 8. She only sees what he gets but never sees what special things she gets to do that he doesn't. Other things too. I know this can be normal but I see lots of traits my sister had/has. My sister has been a very angry/resentful person up until she recently turned 30. That mentality of everyone has everything and poor me. Doesn't appreciate what she does have just concentrates on the negative. I don't want DD growing up resentful.

Any recs for a therapist or books on the subject? 

 

 

ETA: I may DD later. Just don't want this lingering in internet land too long.

  • I just posted this rec below too in lrb's post but I think Siblings Without Rivalry would be an awesome thing to read.  It totally touches on this and its really an easy book to read, I enjoyed reading it and re-reading :-)
  • I can't remember what area of town you are in.  We've had DSS see Anastasia Barber, LCSW off Mopac near Bee Caves.  DSS now sees Rebecca Cook in Buda.  I think you're up north though, right?  If so, let me know and I have some recommendations up there as well.
