I had a female T, who was my first T ever. When I was assigned to her at my college counseling center, I was disappointed because I wanted a man to work through father figure issues. But I am very happy that I had her. If I ever go back to therapy, I'm really not sure which I would choose. I think a female would be easier, but perhaps I would choose a male just to have a different relationship. Maybe it would be helpful to me to work out my issues with men.
