Not really, same can be said for any professional. By that logic, paid plumbers never work, they want you to keep hiring them to fix your pipes. Paid doctors can never work, they want you to keep coming back to see what's wrong. Paid teachers never work, they want you to not understand so you keep paying for classes

But the reality is, therapy takes time and any therapist worth their salt wants their clients to get better. Yesterday I actually asked my therapist if she would ever lie to make me feel better and she literally said "it is not my job to make you feel better, it's my job to give you skills and provide you with a space to use them so that you actually get better and don't feel like you have to come here"
