At first, I would probably ask if she would mind me making the longer drive to see her. I did that with my first pdoc when I moved 90 miles away from him and didn't want to find a new pdoc closer to home. I spent 2.5 years doing this as I was comfortable with him and thought I wouldn't be as comfortable with someone else. He didn't mind me driving that long to see him, so I did it.

Once I started T (as a choice of my own to try to get help in addition to my medications), she was even supportive of me driving that long to see him. She said I needed to be comfotable with who was giving me my meds, so it that meant driving 90 miles, that was okay. Finally though after 6 months of T, I decided that I was willing to try someone new and closer to home. At this point I trusted T, so I asked her for recommendations, so I could see if they were covered by my insurance. The one she suggested was, so I made an appointment with him and have been seeing him since (1.5 years).

Anyways, back to your question...if T told me she wouldn't "let" me drive that long to see her, I would probably try to finish T before she moved. If that didn't look possible, I would probably ask her for recommendations of other T who are like her and try to see if any of them would work for me.
Thanks for this!
