I have a pretty rocky history with therapy. My first therapist when I was 6 was AMAZING, until my abusive and mentally ill father stalked her to the point she had to move to Europe to get away from him. My next therapist when I was 9 LOVED my father and caused a lot of problems. I (understandibly) refused to go to therapy after that till I was 15 and had a mental breakdown. I was put with a therapist named Heather, and I adored her. I was under her care till about a year ago when I moved away for school.

All year I've been looking for therapists. I tried to go to the college clinic but they discriminated against me and my service dog, making me feel unsafe. I did one or two appts with about 6 different clinicians but none stuck (my insurance kept changing, we just didn't connect, etc.) Then, about 2 months ago, I finally found an awesome clinician. She speaks softly, I don't feel like trash when she interrupts to redirect me, it's all great. However, I found out today that her clinic no longer allows reccuring appts. I've always been on a weekly schedule, and we were even discussing bumping it up to twice a week plus my DBT group. I don't feel like I can progress the way I need to and heal if I only see someone every other week (with those appts varying as well). I have another clinic on standby that can get me in for an intake that takes my insurance. I would be interested in having my diagnosis reevaluate, but it took so long to find someone I like and trust. I don't want to mess that up. What do you think I should do?
