I went through one psychiatrist & three therapists until I found the right fit for me. I agree that you are the "consumer" & you should be happy with the service you are receiving. The therapist I "hired" specialized in bipolar so she could really help me understand my symptoms & I signed a release that she could talk to my meds provider. That was a good move, because I once came into the therapy session deeply depressed & suicidal & didn't want to "bother" my provider. The therapist immediately called my meds provider & got me in to see her. She added Wellbutrin to my mix & it helped immensely. Now I've been stable for 3 years so I've discontinued therapy. I was asking her how her week was! I really could let go of so many issues once I got on the proper medication.
