Doesn't sound like a good therapist to me. I've had good ones and bad ones and I know the difference.
A good one, even if unable to help symptoms, can be a fantastic cheerleader and coach all in one, keeping you going, keeping you feeling like you are a really special unique worthy person. That's goes a long way toward healing and taking steps forward.
A good one can also help get stabilized on meds. If currently unstabilized, a good therapist can help get those meds working better.
At the very least I would think one appointment was too soon to pass such a hasty decision. A good therapist would probably want some time to get to know you better before passing any judgements.
Maybe the therapist is cherry picking the easiest cases for a better looking resume or the lack of talent to handle anything more.
