She's been the best psychiatrist I have ever had, she has helped me more than any other I've seen. I was 22 when I started seeing her now I'm 28. Now I have to start all over with someone new. I know it may seem stupid but I actually cried when I got off the video call. I'm glad she told me at the end, I held it in until I got off the video meeting with her.

I've been there, too, and grieving the loss is normal and healthy. You will likely never find an exact replica of this pdoc, but there will be other good ones among maybe a few stinkers. But they will be a bit different, which will be good and even necessary.
