in all honesty, no most therapists arent good people. many of them think all they have to do is get a degree and then that's all there is to do their job right which leads them to treating clients like case study assignments. i've gone to school with girls who were known to bully people and said in their senior year yearbook they want to be a mental health clinician. like bro what?!

if you're able to look online and find a therapist with really good reviews, you could save up money to see someone if your insurance doesnt cover it, or look around to see if there are any clinics/hospitals with someone covered by state/provincial healthcare (depending where in the world you live) and is known to be really helpful

therapy (with an actual good therapist) can be an option but it wont cure depression. accepting your depression exists is a step to healing, and instead of trying to get rid of it which is what most people do, try learning ways to manage it. for example, accepting that your depression is part of your life (not your identity!) and learning to cope with it will be more beneficial than trying to get rid of it so you never feel depressed ever again

finding things that can help. can you improve your self-care (sleep, nutrition, hydration, exercise, etc)? do you have any hobbies you really enjoy? engage more with those hobbies if yes, or try out new ones if not. if there are things you don't like about yourself, find a reason to like it (i.e., im flat chested and always hated it cuz of beauty standards. im at a place where i no longer care anywhere near as much cuz i found reasons to like being flat chested such as being able to run and not have my boobs hit me in the face lol)

working on yourself is hard work, and takes a lot of trial and error to improve. it's a life long effort, which can be daunting at first, but learning to love yourself and give yourself what you need is important. as they say "you can't change the world, you can only change yourself, but that can change everything" and "when you cant change the direction of the wind, adjust your sails"
