It might be a good idea to "shop around." The psychiatrist and nurse ("psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner"?) are essentially a pill mill, and I don't mean that negatively. That's what they're trained and paid for and what brings in the most money for their expertise. Very few prescribers do full-length therapy sessions, some do a little therapy in addition to med management, others don't do any at all. If you feel they manage your meds competently then you may just need to try a few therapists out since the one didn't go so well. Unfortunately there are a lot of bad therapists out there and some good ones that may not be a good fit, so it helps to do one session with a few, try them out (free consult if you can get one) to see how it feels before moving forward.
