My experience has always been that I was talking to somebody who "didn't have a horse in the race". In other words, they didn't care who was "right" or who was "wrong", but like a normal doctor was more concerned about your mental health.

And just like normal doctors, they have different "bedside manners". For example, my psychiatrist that prescribes my meds is as useless as maple syrup on a frozen pancake while my psychologist tries to be as helpful as possible. It doesn't work out with your first, then just like a normal doctor, try to find one that works well with you.
