My PNP, who prescribes my meds, is also a licensed therapist, and I kind of like that. Although I have a different therapist, when I go see my PNP monthly for meds, sometimes we talk about other things going on in my life and she does do a bit of therapy. If I stay a long time, she will sometimes charge it to my insurance as a pschotherapy session. If I stay a shorter time, she charges it as medication management. I like the fact that she is trained for therapy as well as meds. She has a different viewpoint from my therapist (he's male, she's female, for one thing), and I think that can be valuable.
