Did you ever tell a therapist what you want and ask if they think therapy can help you get that? We can't really take a stab at answering that since we don't know what you want, but when you are candid about what you want with a therapist, hopefully they would tell you if therapy can help you achieve that and how they would try to do that with you. Maybe they will think therapy cannot help with your particular goal and point you in another direction. But hopefully they would be able to talk with you on this so you have the understanding of therapy's ability/inability to help that you are looking for.

I liked Ygrec's analogy of the video game. I have been feeling like that myself lately--just starting to get a glimpse of the next level.
