Treatment by a Speech Therapist for a Teenager

Question

I am a speech therapist, and in the past, the rabbi said that I should treat boys up to the age of 13. Today, the mother of a stuttering teenager called and said it is really a matter of life and death for me to treat her 15-year-old son. Should I recommend her another specialist who is not religious, or is it better for me to treat him myself? 

Thank you very much!

Answer

In such a case, you can treat him yourself.
