I use pdoc to refer to my psychiatrist. He is more than a meds dispenser and does some general therapy. But He does not do weekly sessions so when I needed someone more intense (I self harmed) he referred me to a DBT t in his office and I saw them both for 3 years. She is gone now and I'm back to the "lighter" T with him for 20 or 40 minute once a month. In my area it's next to impossible to find a psychiatrist who does intense therapy and med management. They always refer u to a social worker or LMHC. Standard pdoc appt's are short -15-20 minutes. It's weird but insurance reimburses them less for long 50 minute appointments than they do for 20 minute med checks.
