I have always seen my current therapist every Tuesday, since starting with her a couple (few?) years ago. That has stayed the same during the pandemic. It's strange, she seems to rarely take a vacation, and when she has, it is usually between Tuesdays. I've rarely seen her less than every week.

Generally, I see my psychiatrist every three weeks. Visits increase in frequency when I'm doing poorly or have a medication adjustment of some significance. Recently, given my stress levels, I have had sessions scheduled every week these past three weeks. This is the third week in a row of weekly, then my next session is scheduled two weeks later. Though my psychiatrist is primarily for medication management (and he requires that I have a separate therapist), he does provide some level of therapeutic support for me. Sessions with him are at least 20 minutes. He knows me so extremely well that those 20 minutes are often equally or even more valuable than the 45 minutes I have with my therapist. The only time I see him less than every three weeks is when he goes on vacation, and he does take some lengthy vacations. I used to really hate his long vacations!
