What do i call my therapist?

Question

Answer 1

psychologists are doctorate-level providers. Some will ask you to call them by their first name but do not assume. If you have come to a point in the therapeutic relationship where you prefer one way over the other, ask yourself why its important to you; e.g. to call your psychologist by first name.  Psychologists are increasingly asked to work along side other doctorate level clinicians such as medical doctors and have become a bit more protective of being addressed as doctor so and so.
