I think too many people think a therapist is there to fix your problems and tell you what you need to do.

IMHO a therapist is only there to help you to explore your own thoughts and actions so that you, yourself, can figure out the best path through your problems.

I agree that a person needs to feel comfortable with a therapist, because sorting out problems could be personal and/or emotional, so the right fit is good. On the other hand, cycling through many therapists could also indicate that the goal sought is one of answers and not exploration.
