Hi two sons, I know it isn't easy at all starting with a new psychiatrist. Been there more than once. I don't know if you are considering coming off of all the meds you're on, but if your psychiatrist is leaving in December, might be best to try and line another up soon. It may take time to get an appointment; it may take time to taper off some of the meds; maybe you'll find you want to stay on one or more, I don't know, but I'd be careful of not having a backup doc when yours leaves.
