My fiancee's psychiatrist is also rather pricey, and without insurance, the talk therapy seem disproportionately expensive but the woman is a damn genius with the meds. She refuses to work with another therapist and supply only the pharmaceuticals. May I assume this is a rather standard practice at her level of training or is this unusual. We highly value her expertise, but this is an unisured expense and between the meds and twice-monthly sessions we are spending a huge sum. A former therapist is willing to work with my fiancee, and they enjoy a great rapport, but the doctor is resolute in being the exclusive resource for meds and therapy. Any suggestions on how to approach the issue with the psychiatrist?
