I do. He took the time to build up a rapport with me, which was much appreciated. It feels more like a back and forth rather than "proclamations from on high," which, again, I very much appreciated.

Another thing which definitely helped was that his particular job title (psychiatric nurse practitioner) allows him to be both psychiatrist and therapist, so if there was a significant mental health issue coming, he was uniquely suited to help head it off before things got bad.

How many mental health professionals (therapists, psychiatrists, counselors etc.) have you dealt with over the course of your illness?
