Not all mental health professionals are great and if you feel like it’s off well then there’s a good chance it is! Do you have to see this person again? Were you there for a diagnosis ?

I agree with this comment. They should be able to explain why they came to a certain conclusion. And not making eye contact certainly wouldn't suggest hallucinations to me. It could be anxiety, neurodivergence, any number of things.
NP is most likely nurse practitioner, so a nurse with additional qualifications (can likely prescribe medications, for example).
Are you seeing this person just for a diagnosis? For potential medication? Or for therapy? Either way, seems like it might be better to pursue a different provider if that's at all an option.
