Though I've spent time being bitter about therapy, I still think who the therapist is "matters." A dentist is a dentist, but a friendly one can make a difference while they're hammering in a root canal. You can dislike therapy and still find that one therapist is more palatable than another due to office, looks, voice, all sorts of things.

I once saw a male therapist who grossed me out, and another therapist who I felt sorry for (she overshared). My most recent therapist was flawed in a way I could appreciate, and I liked what I knew of her more than what I knew of the other two. That helped.
