Perhaps request to see a psychiatrist? my initial plan last year was to start with a therapist while my primary care physician handled my medication, but my symptoms worsened (severe anxiety at the time, overall a blend of anxiety and depression) so she referred me to a psychiatrist. I didn't click with the therapist I saw in the psychiatrist's office, but actually hit it off very well with my psychiatrist so she schedules extended appointments (45-60 minutes) for me rather than the 15 minute med check and does therapy with me then.
I still only see her on a monthly basis as she has a larger client panel than a therapist would. That said it is sufficient for me. It might be a good system for you, even if not at least you could perhaps get a more clear understanding on a working diagnosis and discuss meds. Perhaps then they can recommend another therapist in the group that you'd be a better fit with than the current nurse.
