2 initial consultations with a psychotherapist?

Hello,

I have the following question and I can't really get any further internally.

I received a referral for psychotherapy on Monday.

So, on Monday, I looked for available appointments in my area and now I have one for tomorrow. At the same time, I also emailed a recommended therapist. I wasn't expecting a response, but now I've just received one. I was considering seeing both, which you can, and then, if I feel more comfortable with one, I'll see who I choose. So, now I only have one referral. What would you do? I really don't want to cancel tomorrow and would rather rely on the recommended one.

Oh, and don't be surprised… I didn't pay any attention to spelling or anything. Hope you understand my problem anyway.

Your problem is easily solved: You don’t need a transfer to the psychotherapist! You can keep your transfer – unless your executing doctor wants a message from the psychotherapist. Then, on the one hand, do not take your transfer with and to the other therapists.

So you go to both and then decide. But say you have another appointment.

You’ll have to make a decision. Two at the same time don’t go.

Do you have a medical contract?

Yes, but you can only give the transfer to one. Your pediatrician won’t show you a second.

Reviews are always such a thing. I already had therapists/doctors with bad reviews that I found good and vice versa.

Then you will not have such a contract, you know that.

I would get to know both (without giving one the transfer) and then decide.

It’s difficult. More like therapist one.

By the way, you don’t need a transfer for a psychotherapist. Unless you have a family doctor’s contract and your family doctor has issued the transfer.
