She has her opinion (and is welcome to it :-) If you don't like this T, tell your agency specifically why (she interrupts, puts down your previous helpers, etc.) and get a different one that you can work with better.
Diagnoses are for the therapist, to help focus them, they aren't for the client and aren't worth collecting in my opinion, you can only work on one thing at a time; concentrate on the MDD or whatever issues you perceive and want to work on. If this T has only seen you a couple times, she just has an idea and will need to see you much longer to see if what she thinks she sees plays out. You don't have to know which one for personality disorders, just thinking it is a personality disorder can be quite helpful right there if you really want to work on it.

In general, having a personality disorder means you have a rigid and unhealthy pattern of thinking and behaving no matter what the situation. This leads to significant problems and limitations in relationships, social encounters, work and school.
