My husband leaves it up to me to choose our couples therapist. Last night I was very honest with him about why I want to switch. He said "whatever you want, honey". He is far less practiced at therapy than I am, and I need a therapist who has dealt with abuse, something my husband wouldn't ask about. So it makes more sense for me to choose - but, yes, of course, the therapist needs to work for both of us.

And yeah, I am pissed that I wasted a year on the other therapist AND paid for it.
