When my sons each had problems, I went with them to therapy interviews... I don't hear you saying that you go with her even though the two therapists otherwise work with you both... If they discouraged family therapy, seek out such therapy... Many therapists I hang out with demand it, at least in the beginning...
I am curious about your daughter's internal conflicts that cause her to consider that "permanent solution to a very temporary condition"... Also, who's opinion is she being impacted with??? A simple test of what's important and what's not is to suspend all opinions for 24 hours... You can then get some clarity as to which opinions are yours and which are being foisted onto you by someone else...
Note: opinion is information held confident without direct/immediate knowledge... Opinions are the story about what happened being told by someone who usually wasn't there... So if you are being manipulated by someone else’s stories, good luck!!!
