Struggling to Find a Therapist Who Understands My Autism and Mental Health Needs

I find it so frustrating how hard it is to find a therapist that understands both what I need because of my autism and my mental health needs. My last therapist agreed to a more supportive session structure but then said she didn't believe in autism labels and then said she didn't believe in autism labels and decided to revert back to a completely open ended structure which doesn't work for me.

Ignore the second label part. I accidentally typed that twice.

Finding a good therapist is so hard. I recently left my therapist because she treated me like a child. I understand your frustration!
