Hi, I had a psychiatrist while inpatient who I found about 10 years later was covered by the insurance I had then recently acquired. I felt a little weird calling him, kind of wishing I was "all better" and a bit embarrassed about "still needing help." But I'd really liked him and everyone I asked said to not worry about it. It was fine--he remembered me (I'd been in horrible shape and he gave me ECT during that IP stay). It was really cool, actually--I was in much better shape when I got back in touch with him than when we originally met, but it was helpful that he knew just how bad things could get for me. He greeted me really warmly and I totally felt not only welcome, but was that much more convinced that he'd really cared that first time around. As others here have said, I think it's always implied that you can come back to a T and I know of people who have taken quite a few breaks with the same T over a decades-long relationship.
