I hate my counselor?!


Question: My mom is making me see counselor because I'm sad a lot and mad all the time. I don't like my counselor. I feel like I can't talk 2 her. I want to talk to the counselor that my best friend is talking 2. My mom said it's cool with her as long as I talk about my feelings. I'm cool with that. How do I tell Mrs. Davis that she is not helping me and I'm leaving? I don't want 2 be mean about it.

You don't have to tell her she is not helping you if you don't want to. Just call her and say you will no longer attending counsling and you do not need her service. You don't have to be rude and that is not rude. People do that all the time you do not have to tell her why if you do not want to. If you do want to tell her why just say nothing agenst you at all but I feel that I need to move on because my needs are not being meet... say i think its just a personality thing nothing personal. Trust me she will be cool with it. They know as therapists that sometimes people need to "shop around" not everyone works well with each other.

why should you have to tell her? won't your mom take care of that?

Have your mom take care of it. She is a counselor and it is supposed to be for your best not hers right!

Have your mother explain that she thinks that someone else would help you more. IF your mother insists that you tell the counselor tell her the same thing. When you start with the new person make sure that you're up front with them as they can't help you if you won't let them know what really going on. I know what you're dealing with as I've been dealing with depression since I was nine and I'm 52. My daughter's also were in therapy during their teens. My youngest is still in therapy at the age of 15.

Tell the counselor that you like them just fine but feel like you could relate to mr or Mrs so and so better and no offense but you are moving on to the new person. counselors understand that people bond with different folks and are use to it the counselor wants yu to be helped no matter who it is that helps.

Hi there,
I'm a psychologist and can tell you that it's ok to tell your counselor that you want to talk to someone else. I know it's intimidating, but just be honest. It's kinda like when a teacher grades your paper. If they just give you a grade with no explanation, then sometimes you wonder, "What did I do wrong?" But if you give a grade to your counselor and then tell her one or two things she could have done better, then that's fine.
Hope this helps.

say ur mom is making you leave her
