I had the same experience at a college counseling center many years ago. In hindsight I realize that the pdoc was probably a resident and that he was following a protocol. But...I wish I'd had the confidence to say--hey, I have a problem now and need some help! Instead, I just didn't go back. Later in life my therapist recommended that I also consult a pdoc about meds to alleviate ongoing depression symptoms in conjunction with counseling. That combination really helped me a lot. Also, I now know that it's not only okay but also very helpful to ask a pdoc about the process of therapy, e.g., ask why s/he makes the responses you're getting and tell her/him how this makes you feel. Good luck!
