I'd suggest that maybe this is where she's coming from except that she's willing to suggest someone else for you to work with? Was the additional therapist your idea or hers?

I don't know, if it were me, I'd talk to her more about this before looking for another therapist to work with at the same time.
The additional therapist was her idea. I explained to her why I felt like having another T would be weird and told her another professional told me it is a bad idea, and she said she understands where I am coming from but her and the center I am at recommend it. I only agreed to look at a list of therapists my mom found and when I emailed T yesterday she said I should make some calls and set up some appointments. What? I never even agreed I would see another therapist, I agreed to looking at a list.
