Oh, I looked into something like that. It's a ridiculous story but I caught whooping cough while doing home health about 5 years ago (I am allergic to the vaccines and they tried half doses but I didn't gain immunity). That turned into asthma that is triggered by chemicals, sometimes completely random things. And while the treatment for serious asthma attacks is steroids steroids make me so manic that I would need to go from the ER to psych. And since I am a long way from my psychiatrist and the hospital I really want to be in/need to be in for psych (to prevent people screwing with my delicate balance of meds) we decided it would be good to find someone local to work who could have spoken with my psychiatrist and who could speak for me if I wound up in the ER unable to breathe or talk well enough to explain (this actually happened. I wrote it out on a paper towel while gasping for air). The person my pdoc was able to get a referral for was at a clinic like that and they refused, under any circumstances, to let me meet with her without having 2 clinic visits prior and then a waiting list. And she was the only option I had in the area where I worked. So I wound up just praying to not have an asthma attack that I couldn't control on my own. And then I wound up having to quit working anyway.

I'm glad you are going to the new place. Maybe if the therapist understands how much you've been struggling they can get you seen faster. I can't imagine they don't do that all the time for people in situations that require help sooner than 2 months out.
