I have had a great psychiatrist for at least 4 or more years now. Her medications for me have worked right from the start. See her every 3 months for my B II. Often thought I'd like to see a psychologist as well, but I never spoke to her about that before. Today she set me up with one I will see the 19th for the first time. I think it will help. Any others seeing a psychiatrist and a psychologist too?
Thanks for this!

Yup.

Highly recommended!

Let us know how you go.

I'm pretty sure it will be a positive step for you too.

I see a P.A. (physician's assistant) for my psych meds. He is well-trained and also super smart, and I am delighted to be able to see him.

The psychotherapist that I see has a master's degree in social work plus some additional training in the specific therapy type that she mostly uses. She is under 30 but also very smart as well as having a natural gift for doing therapy.

So I'm a happy camper as far as my psych providers go right now. That has not always been the case.

P.S. Nosy question - does your psychiatrist's first name start with "S", by any chance? Wondering if I might know her.
