Young man: Are you always so persistent with your clients?
Psychologist: No.
Young man: So why me?
Psychologist: Because I believe I can help you.
Question: Is 'persistent' perfect here, does it have the negative meaning I want, to imply that the psychologist is too stubborn and trying too hard? Also, is it 'persistent with'?
