Find the right clinical psychologist

Q1) My daughter is 16 years old and studying 10th standard. She has been very irregular in school since her 2nd standard. My wife and I had marital issues then because we used to quarrel frequently in front of the kids. My daughter is good at all things except her studies. With great effort, I got her admission into a school, but she says that she doesn't love that school and is not willing to go to school. Please advise.
