Hello,

I've never posted to this particular forum before but recent events have me confused.

My teenage daughter is seeing a therapist. She has had eight sessions now and the therapist (PhD) feels pretty confident in her diagnostic impression.

Yesterday, I took my daughter to a psychiatrist (at the urging of the therapist) to be assessed for medication.
After the session, I spoke with the psychiatrist and found out that she has a different diagnostic impression. I mentioned what the therapist thought and asked for her opinion. She basically said she doesn't agree with the therapist.

I also mentioned that the therapist told me that she'd like to be in contact with the psychiatrist for continuity of care reasons. The psychiatrist said that she doesn't need to be in contact with the therapist.

Now, I don't know what way to turn with respect to my daughter's care.
I have two licensed professionals who disagree on diagnosis and one does not care to talk to the other. Both are highly recommended in their fields and my daughter seems to get on well with both.
How do we move forward with this situation?
Has anyone else had something similar happen to them? How did you resolve it?
Our insurance plan is fairly limited in numbers of providers that specialize in adolescent psychiatry and psychology for my area. We cannot travel long distances for care so we have to make due with what's available to us.
