What do you want out of therapy? What are you hoping to get out of it? I mean, I use my therapist as a sounding board. We'll just shoot the breeze some of the time. Sometimes one of us will bring up a particularly serious issue. In a way he's getting paid to sit and talk with me, with an important caveat. When I venture into a depressive episode, I go down fast and he's better placed to spotting that downturn than anyone.

Otherwise, you have no obligation to keep visiting that therapist if you don't want to. You can call and cancel anytime. My advice though: get through the intake meeting and see what they are like in an actual therapy session. If you still don't like them after that, call and cancel.
