There's a lot of information in your post but I've bolded what I think is the important thing:

Can you contact your care coordinator or someone in administration to ask them how you need to approach it? If you feel invalidated by your psychiatrist, that's a serious matter I would think. It affects your ability to get effective treatment. You might also address this with the psychiatrist at your next appointment. In person during an appointment is less likely to make the psychiatrist feel threatened, which is the kind of feeling that could lead her to refuse to let you have access to your notes.
