Unfortunately, probably the only way to know is to ask.

If it's helpful, my therapist has said that for her "once a client, always a client," meaning that anybody who has been established with her can generally come back if they want/need to see her again later. She wasn't taking new clients when I reconnected with her after she started her private practice, but she still scheduled me right away.

Dr. T has said something similar and has said he's had a fair number of former clients come back (particularly during the pandemic). Before the rupture, ex-MC had also said that if we left, we could come back anytime if he was still practicing (no idea now, but that's very complicated, and I suspect at this point he might be willing to see us, as long as it wasn't just me).
