I've been in this position trying to figure out what to do and whether two therapists was a good idea. It seemed like a perfect solution to me at the time, but as I began to experiment with it, it quickly became not such a good idea. I don't recommend it unless the therapists are working with you and two entirely different issues (and there aren't very many issues that are entirely separate). The reason for this is that when you have more than one professional managing your care, it creates so much possibility for miscommunication to happen. By having two therapists, you create this triangle with you in the middle. The therapists may not necessarily communicate with each other, they may give you contradicting advice (every therapist has a different approach to treatment), etc. It just makes things complicated. In addition, I have been told that many therapists won't treat a patient that is seeing another therapist at the same time for the very reasons i just mentioned.

If you feel like the therapist you are currently seeing is not helping you sufficiently, it will not hurt their feelings for you to explain that you want to try someone else. If you can be specific about why it wasn't working, they will most likely welcome the advice on how to improve their practice. It also may be that you were just not a good fit for each other. Therapists understand that as well. My old t used to tell me that being a therapist was a strange professional because your goal is to try to put yourself out of business- it's so true. They constantly have patients coming and going. It's part of the profession. I don't think you should take your therapist's personal feelings into account why trying to decide whether the therapy you are doing is beneficial to you. Best of luck!
