Yes!!
I moved interstate and had to find another.. When I would ask the answer from the receptionist was often vague and ambiguous..

I lucked into getting a pdoc that runs the DBT program here and his specialty is BPD. My appointment was made before another doctor made the diagnosis. Here you don't get to pick your pdoc. The T I was seeing was a specialist in DBT, again I lucked into her but had to stop when I started the Advanced Skills program (they were different programs and you can only be in one program at a time because they are funded differently). My pdoc has a referral in for a new T for me. I assume it will be someone from the DBT clinic.

Yes. Really good therapists are hard to find. I always end up with unexperienced people who aren't doing their job correct.
