in some situations yes it is ok to have two therapists...example here in NY we have crisis centers that have therapists we have domestic violence therapists, we have mental health therapists...I know many people who have both a mental health therapist to help them with their mental issues and a domestic violence therapist to help them with their domestic violence issues, people who have both their mental health therapist and their rape crisis therapist. I even know people in mental health programs where they have a team of more than one, sometimes as many as three and 4 therapist working with them.

I have many different types of treatment providers because I have many different mental and physical and life issues. we all work together for whats in the best interest...example once a month my MS therapist, mental heath therapist, a back up mental health therapist that covers when my regular therapist is unavailable, medical doctor, neurologist, physical therapist, psychiatrist, my wife and I have a meeting where we discuss me, what my problems are and what my needs are and what to do about my many physical and mental health challenges. when my mental health therapist worked with an agency instead of private practice there were three more mental health therapists at the meeting with us.

the key to having more than one treatment provider is to have all treatment providers working together, by signing a release form giving each of the therapists permission to meet with each other with and with out you to talk about the case file and you and whats in your best interest. that way everyone is working on the same page and not counteracting each others treatment of you.
