This psychologist used fake information to cheat me. He yelled at my name and abused me. Horrible experience. Run away!

Though this is the first counselor I’ve ever seen, I must say I think he’s very good at what he does. This is a VERY strange thing to review — psychological services — it’s just so personal. Not really sure how to proceed in a helpful way. Let’s try this:
What I do know:
He’s attentive.
He’s professional (this means many good things, in my opinion, but if you come here looking for a friend… and I wasn’t… save yourself a trip. Not that he’s not friendLY; he is. It’s that he takes his job seriously and it’s clear that he wants to avoid all personal entanglement, as he should)
He seems to really know what he’s doing.
He’s sharp and knows what to probe and what questions to ask.
He, at least with me, wasn’t so much about giving advice, as listening, asking questions, and helping me make my own revelations and draw my own conclusions. This might be different from case to case, but I got used to the fact that there may be quite a bit of silence if I were to stop speaking.
What I don’t know:
Whether he will be a good fit for you, your issues, and/​or your personality type.
Whether or not he tends to approach different situations and personalities differently.
In the end, I went to him every two week for, I don’t know, 6 months or so? I didn’t continue simply because I didn’t feel the need. No issue with him. I’ve recommended him to friends in fact.
