My therapist isn't an M.D./psychiatrist. She does, however, have her PhD in Clinical Psychology and out of respect, I put "Her Name" with PhD following it when addressing her in written form--as in writing my check or sending her a follow-up letter. When I first met her, she immediately held out her hand and introduced herself with her first name. I'm very comfortable calling her by her first name.
