I had the same thing initially with my doctor, too, until I okay'ed my therapist to contact him and then I got a referral to a Pdoc. I know that my GP only refers to one particular Pdoc, so I wonder if that is the same for you?
Can you find your own therapist who would be willing to be a part of a treatment team with your Pdoc? I'd also consider calling your Pdoc's office and voicing your concerns and ask if you can have a longer appointment to discuss the issues. The worst thing they can say is no.
