So my (F23) partner’s (M28) therapist abruptly stopped offering sessions. No warning, he just walked into therapy one day and was told that would be the last session. It was very abrupt and pretty upsetting to my partner.

This happened roughly a year ago. I didn’t like the sound of this but I didn’t have much experience around therapy, he and I didn’t know each other that well at the time, and it was done and over with so I didn’t say much about it.

But now he got an email from the same therapist about starting up sessions again. I’m skeptical about this guy because of the way he cut off sessions before, but obviously my partner knows better what goes on in the sessions than I do. I don’t want to overstep and tell him he should find someone else if this therapist is good for him. But again I’m skeptical.

Is this an appropriate/normal/frequent way to tell clients you’re not offering sessions anymore? It just doesn’t feel right to me but I might not know what’s typical. If not, what can I do to try to steer my partner to someone more ethical without overstepping?
