My T makes no goals with me, doesn't seem to understand me, and doesn't take my moods seriously. I want to ask for someone more compatible, but how do I do this without hurting her feelings. I would feel bad if I did. She's a nice lady and she tries.

IDK. I tried this three months ago and I have not heard from the practice yet. I called them twice to follow up. They are supposed to call me.

Hopefully she'll understand & stay professional. You sound like you've made up your mind, you need a different T. I hope she won't try to talk you back into it, like you're just feeling this way cuz we're getting to core issues type of speech. Even if that were the case, it's no good trying to face some deep issues when you're not comfortable with the person. Stand your ground , move on. It's nice you care about her feelings, but this is your important life health stuff, needs to happen with the right T.

My husband changed psychiatrist sighting 'Though pdoc and I have both tried very hard, I am unable to build a rapport with pdoc and would like to change pdoc's'.

This sounds like a large center with multiple providers? Just go to the receptionist and schedule another appointment with someone else. If your old therapist asks simply tell them you want to see new people, you don't have to explain yourself... your therapist is getting paid to care about how you feel, if they can't handle rejection it's not your problem. It seems to me the more you expand on the issues the more awkward the situation could become, so I think the best course of action is to actually say as little as possible.
