I used to work at a psych hospital and we sometimes had outpatient therapists come in to visit their patients, but not frequently. We had a rule that they couldn't do therapy, provide treatment, etc. It had to be a social visit. I think the worry was that therapists might provide treatment at odds with the treatment provided in the hospital and confuse the patient, so that's why they are not supposed to do therapy there.
