What type of progress is your mother expecting to see from your counseling sessions? What brings her to bounce you around from one therapist to the next so suddenly? Is family counseling happening, at the same time as your counseling? Or even, is anyone else in your home seeking therapy, at the same time as you?
I forget, recently, where I read about sending teens/young adults to therapy, but it concluded that family counseling would fare better and that statistically speaking, the parent(s) sending their children typically haven't been in counseling prior, although results fare better if the parent(s) go, as well.

+1 on this; I think you should be seeking the type of help that
you think
you need, regardless of what your mother's goals for you are. In most states, 16 is the age of consent regarding getting treatment, so you may have more say in the matter than you think you do. You might want to think about doing your own search for a therapist and seeing if they will do a brief phone consultation (often they will for no charge) and if you find one that is promising, just present it to your mother as a done deal.
