I’ve called most of my T’s by their first names, whether they be LCSW, LMHC, or PsyD. I felt much more connected to them when I got to call them that. It makes it feel less clinical. The two T’s I called Dr. ____ both did not last very long. One was a PsyD and was my only male T, and I couldn’t handle that. The other...well she was a PhD and she was just awful at her job. Straight up negligent. Funny...highest level degree made for the most incompetent therapist in my case...she might want to stick to research...
