For example, I want to talk to someone in the area of a program I like at a certain school, but I am totally terrified. I really feel like I can't do it alone. And my T is just... I don't know what to say, except that it doesn't feel like I can get enough practical advice from her. Now that I am browsing online for a career counselor I notice that most of them are therapists as well. So now I am wondering if this crosses some sort of line. Would it be weird to have 2 therapists, if one was mainly for "career" stuff? Except, most of them say they work on other stuff as well... I know I'll have to talk to my T about it.
Has anyone else had more than 1 therapist?
(I also see a couples T and a psychopharm. Sheesh - Still, I know I can't fix this myself. I have been trying for too long. I need more help!!)

at one point in my life I had a therapist a psychiatrist a mental health case manager and a college guidance counselor. now I just have a psychiatrist and a therapist, and the college guidance counselor is always there on the college campus any time I have questions about the classes.
by reading your post is sounds like a college guadance counselor would be able to help you work out what you would like to do for a career and help you get the right start on learning about the career of your choice. best part guidance counselors are free. you just go to your nearest college campus, the first office you see just say "I would like to meet with your guidance counselor please" or "where can I find your guidance counselor" and the person you asked will be able to point you in the right direction of the guidance counselors office. most college campus's have more than one guidance counselor in male and female genders.
