I kind of see three people, really... The first two are my regular T and my marriage counselor, who often spends time addressing some of my individual stuff in session (particularly in the past 6 months). I'm currently seeing each once a week. I find it to be beneficial in many ways because T and MC have different therapy styles and different perspectives. Like one tends to push me more and the other tends to give more reassurance/understanding. I need different things at different times, so it helps. Though it can be confusing at times if they have very different takes on, say, something that happened with my husband. I told them one time that they should offer some sort of joint thing, where you alternate weeks with them, something like that. (They did offer marriage counseling to a couple together at one point, but both were there all the time, I think.)
Plus there's my p-doc. She also offers therapy, but since I already have a T, I see her for 25-minute sessions. My previous p-doc was just 15 minutes--like brief discussion, write prescription, get out--so I do more talking with my current p-doc
