My therapist is a psychiatrist. I like seeing her because we get along and she does my therapy and medication management. I refuse to see separate people. It makes no sense to me since my response to medication directly affects therapy.
I call her by her first name since that is what she usually calls herself. I see her in the community where it is much more relaxed than in a hospital. Addressing her that way has eliminated some of the power difference that has affected my response to other psychiatrists.
Every now and then she calls herself Dr. [insert name here] which she only does that on the phone.
