SoupDragon, if you think it will work and both Ts think it will help, then go for it. Especially if you see your male T for individual T and the female T for group therapy, it would not be a problem at all (although I know you didn't specify this).

In addition to seeing my individual therapist, for a while I saw a family therapist together with my daughter. My own T was fine with it (he gave me the referral). One therapist cannot always handle all your problems. In family therapy, we pretty much stuck to mother-daughter stuff. There was not a conflict with either my individual therapy or my daughter's individual therapy with her own T.

Right now I see my T as well as a PNP. Usually with the PNP we just do meds, but she is also licensed to do psychotherapy, so sometimes we have a meds+therapy session. It has not created any conflict. I get different things from her than I get from my T. The topics we discuss have very little overlap. She is the more practical T, and will help with things like how I can make inroads on getting my home organized, or things I can do to help myself focus better. Because she is female, I also find myself telling her some things I might not automatically bring up with my male T. Like female physical symptoms.

Once when I was going through something super hard, I coincidentally had appointments with my T, my PNP, and my family T all in one week. Wow, that was great, and I never felt so supported as then!

SoupDragon, I think the best thing is to discuss this with your T and see if he has any concerns.
