By all means ask her.
Is it your mistrust of therapists in general that made you check on her or just a lack of trust in her?
I only ask as really that would colour what I would do next.

I'm very cautious of therapists right now, but I trusted her. When I first started meeting with her on a regular basis, I checked her license with the state in order to make sure I wasn't walking into a situation where I was dealing with a sanctioned/reprimanded therapist.
I was so blind to the abuse that happened with the other therapist and carry a lot of responsibility for what happened - I should have respected and acted on the red flags I saw and I didn't. I don't want to make that mistake again.
When I looked up and verified her license status with the state recalled that she did not have any Supervisory designations. When she said she was a Supervisor, I went back to the state to verify with the state since I didn't recall her having that status.
I don't mistrust her in general, but this lie borders on a personality defect that I'm not sure I can wait and see what other manifestations show themselves.
Or I'm just overreacting.
After what happened with the abuse therapist, the control I allowed her to take, and my very poor judgement in not seeing what she was doing to me and getting out, I have extreme doubt in my ability to make sound judgements right now.
Thanks!
