I drive an hour and a half for my p/doc who is also my T and my cognitive T (in a different town but just as far away) because there is just so little good mental health care where I live. I am about that distance from some of the best hospitals and doctors in the Northeast so it is worth it to me. I have been doing it for over twenty years and some people tell me I am crazy to drive so far, but if they needed life saving treatment for a physical diseases they would be the first to head to where I go. I think they just really don't understand how serious mental health issues can be. I usually just respond by saying I like my doctor so to me it's worth it and leave it at that.
Do what makes you feel most comfortable with. Your the one that has to be able to be comfortable in the theraputic relationship. Good luck.
