Have Initial Appointments with 2 Different Therapists (32M)

Long story short, I’ve been dealing with some stuff at work that’s causing me some anxiety & stress that I just can’t seem to shake. I made the decision to call my company’s EAP. They were great and 2 days later provided me a therapist for virtual sessions. I reached out to get in contact, but could not get a response. Kept trying but never got a call back. This went on for over a week. I reached back out to EAP and they provided me some new therapists a few days later.

At the same time, I also researched some local therapists in the area, and found someone who I think I would work well with (male, from the same area of the country I’m from, specializes in anxiety, etc.) and called to inquire about an appointment. He also does in person sessions which I thought would be helpful at first.

Long story short, I was able to get an appointment in person early this week, but at the same time, the therapist provided by EAP also finally called back and got me scheduled for end of this week.

What do you recommend I do? Should I got to both appointments?
