Try to figure out what you don't like about her. She is there to help you and to challenge how you think and what you do. Maybe you don't like being questioned or maybe you don't like to self-reflect.
Of course, it might just be the therapist. Every therapist is different in mannerisms and style. The key is that you are making the attempt. Kudos to you for seeking help. You might need to look around to find one that you are comfortable with.

If you didn't like her, I would find another therapist. You have to like and trust your therapist to get any good out of it. It doesn't mean she is a bad therapist, it just means your personalities don't match. Sometimes you have to meet many different therapist before you find the one that's right for you. I say go with your first impression.
It would be different if you were just a little uncomfortable. It may take some time to build a trusting relationship, but if you just don't like her, move on.

I would say going back to her would depend on what you don't like about her. Did she point out things that have made you feel uncomfortable? If so, then that's part of it, her job is to challenge you, and help you readjust your thinking. However, therapists are human beings, and sometimes you just won't "click" with another person, it's called personality differences.
I'd say give her another shot, but if you still feel the same way after a 2nd visit, then look for someone else to help you. Just please, get the help you need! Best of luck to you!

Yes give her another chance. Some therapists are short and to the point (your life will not hang in Limbo forever with a therapist like this). Could it be that this therapist is too close to the truth? Perhaps you are still not ready or willing for change...

Why didn't you like her? Did she tell you things you didn't want to hear? that happens often in therapy. I'd give her another chance and if you still don't like her then find someone else. You have to get the right fit for you, sometimes it takes 3 or 4 therapists to get to the right one for you.

I have been to many therapists I didn't like. I DID go more than once. You really cannot determine if you like someone in one visit. The initial visit is really only getting information from you. Try again and even tell her what you want and things you are uncomfortable with. If it does not work...find another one.

Usually you can tell from the first meeting whether or not you like them. The thing about therapists, you can keep looking until you find one that suits you.
You can set up meetings with several of them. Just let them know you want to set up a meeting with them, learn about them, and their history, what their strong points are, and how they believe they can help you.
That way, you get a chance to meet with several, and then pick the one that is best for you.

Go with your gut instinct. Find someone else. It isn't uncommon not to click with a therapist but it doesn't meant that will be true of all of them. Good Luck!

Yes, give a chance, maybe even a couple more. You never know, she could end up being wonderful and helpful. Good luck!

Find another. If you don't like the person who is supposed to be helping you, what could you possibly accomplish? It's important that you click with your therapist.
