I booked this appointment specifically for ADHD medication management and wrote that in my booking note. During the session, I brought up my medication refill multiple times. Instead of telling me up front that he cannot prescribe, he spent the session on general therapy questions. At the end, he said he would check with his supervisor and get back to me about the medication. I heard nothing for two days, and calls to the office went unanswered. When I emailed, he told me to call my insurance and find another provider. He is a psychotherapist, not a prescriber. That should have been said in the first five minutes, not after a full session and two days of waiting on a refill and now I’m back to square one.
