I have a separate t and pdoc. My pdoc doesn't really do therapy per se, but my appointments with her last as long as a session. She does my medication management, but feels very strongly that the best way for her to do that is to spend time talking so she can assess how I'm doing. When I first started seeing her, I kind of resented it because I have a t and I didn't need her to play at being my t for 45 minutes a month. But over the year and a half I've seen her, I've grown to appreciate what she offers me. She's not my therapist, but she has different expertise and viewpoints. I value her opinions now.
