I'm sorry you had to experience this. Your doctor probably won't treat you because you are not going to take medication. Even psychiatrists who do therapy are still primarily prescribers, not therapists, and agencies as well as insurance companies have rules about who clients can see and for what purpose. Also, insurance often won't reimburse psychiatrists for psychotherapy alone if the client is not being seen for meds as well. Not defending her actions, but I believe this is what's behind them. Why your psychiatrist didn't tell you this in more depth was not very professional.
