What I discovered is, he is the best for me out of the 3 I met with. I just find that every so often he says something so not me that I feel a little hurt. I know they can't be perfect, but shouldn't a t know you/your values after seeing a client somewhat regularly for the past 7 or so months?

no. your therapist should have a great idea of who you are, but its not realistic for him to know you, your values, your likes, your dislikes, what you think or will think, how you feel or will feel, etc.
all the time.
he's not a mind reader and you and he don't think exactly alike. so he may take what he knows of you and think, "hmmm...maybe chloe would think/feel this way." and sometimes he's going to be wrong. it doesnt mean he doesnt know you or care about you or understand you....it just means he isnt you.
