Do you address your therapist by their first name?

My T has a PhD, I never use her name in session (what's the point, it's just the two of us, who else would I be talking to?) but in my head I think of her by her first name. When I make appointments on the phone with the front desk I always say "I need an appointment with [First name Last name]," sometimes the person at the desk will also refer to her by her first/last name, sometimes they call her Dr. [Last name], it depends on which person is at the desk

I refer to my therapists by her first name Dr ____ just seems to intimate (she has a PhD) I know that seems backwards. Though I would like to refer to her as "The All Powerful Goddess Of Wisdom and Beauty" or is that a bit much

I call MD's doctor X. And just X when I talk about them. I think it's pretentious for non- MD's to call themselves doctor--there's only about a billion of them in any (stupid) subject you can think of. If they prefer doctor I call them nothing to their face. When I was in graduate school we called our teachers Professor X, which was considered a higher status.

The use of the title "Doctor" for academics who obtain PhDs long predates its use for medical professionals. And a PhD takes longer to earn and is considered a higher level of education than an MD.
Captain Holt has a rant about the subject in the show Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The video is only about 50 seconds: link

I go out of my way to never have to use his name or title, lol
But, yes, his first name -- that's how he has always referred to himself

LCSWs I have always called by their first name. The one time I had a psychologist I called her Dr. ___ (first name).

True, I never refer to my T by name in session (though he does use my first name at times). I really only address him as "Dr. T" when writing e-mails (I assume I would on the phone as well, but I've never called him). When I'm talking about MC with him, I generally use "Dr. MC," but sometimes just use his first name. When I was talking about MC with ex-T, I pretty much always used his first name (after confirming with her that it was OK).
