Wow, Olivia, I'm so sorry. I would feel very betrayed also if I were lied to like that. It makes me wonder, where do these "professionals" get their training anyway? Don't they cover termination issues in therapy school?

I hope you will discuss this with your psychologist. This was a major breach of trust between a therapist and her client, and therefore it is very relevant to your current therapy relationship with the psychologist. (Plus, who knows, maybe your psychologist can give some educational pointers to your former pdoc, who sounds like she could certainly benefit.)

Will you still see the pdoc for meds? That would be so hard given the past dishonesty. If you need prescriptions, I hope you can find a new pdoc.
