I'm sure there's an answer to this, but why are you seeing this person still ?

Sounds like she invalidates you, is trying to condemn you to a life defined by the parameters of the mental illness she's decided you have and believes that your past criminal activity will be some impediment to being a successful professional ever.

I don't understand why you'd expose yourself to this toxiticy, let alone pay for it. Is there some way you can find a better therapist?

It's interesting that you say you are in the program, (meaning you were accepted into it) and you are getting top grades, and yet you're considering dropping out on the sayso of this person? Why?
