I don't think it's unethical. I'm from a different country from you but had a similar experience. I had an eating disorder for many years, and the public system dumped me after a residential stay and an extremely short follow up. My public T referred me to my current one who has limited experience with eating disorders but an amazing expertise in trauma, dissociation and women's issues. Honestly she's been a great fit for me despite the lack of ED knowledge; it's been refreshing to work with someone who is helping me look beyond the same old eating issues over and over again. I think it's more an issue as to how you feel. Is your T helping you enough, or do you need to take charge of your treatment and find someone to focus more on ED issues? I think it's more about being honest with yourself and finding what you need. (I will say, though, that it is super frustrating when public programs don't take people seriously due to ridiculous specifics, I have had the same problem). Good luck to you!
