I have been with my T for a long time and she has helped me tremedously. I don't think I would be here if it were not for her. My problem is that I think I have gotten as far as I can with her. I am not sure if I want to find someone new or maybe I should just not see a T anymore or maybe only as needed.

twirls, I can really relate to what you wrote. My first counselor was really nice and I liked her, and supported me during really hard times. But there reached a point where I outgrew her--I had exhausted her skill set. I could not move further in the direction I wanted/needed with her. So I discontinued seeing her and didn't see anyone for a while. Then I found a new therapist who could help me move forward and had different skills and approaches up his sleeve.

I think it is OK if you need to see someone new. It doesn't necessarily mean you don't like the other therapist, just that you need something/someone different right now. Or maybe you will even take a break from therapy and assess where you are now and where you need to go and how a therapist might help you with that. That sort of reflection will help you when and if you do choose a new therapist.

Good luck.

twirls, can you discuss these concerns of yours with your current T? See what she has to 'offer' etc. and if you need more (or maybe something different) than she can deliver at the present moment, then it might be wise to consider other options. I don't know, I'd think talking your options with her would have been a first port of call. What do you think?
