I haven't done this personally. I've got sort of run-of-the-mill issues. However, in my work, we do this all the time. A generalist works with kids and we add in whatever else is needed - speech, OT, etc. It works really well because the generalist provides a lot of support and keeps an eye on everything, not just the one big issue. But the big issue is being worked on in a concentrated way.
I shouldn't have to remind you that it isn't your responsibility to not hurt your therapist's feelings. But it speaks to your positive feelings about her and that is good! I think you should ask her how she would feel about you working with a team. She may not view this as diluting (OK, originally I typed deluding, lol) your therapy at all. And by telling her about this idea, you could also bring up you might be afraid to get better. This sounds really important.
Nice to see you posting here, btw!
