I would be wary about a T who refuses to discuss pertinent issues about a patient. This is an issue that concerns you. How can a T refuse to discuss an issue that concerns you? You aren't asking them to reveal details or concede with your opinions.

I respect the intake for its basic purpose, but it is up to the T to be able to listen to the patient and explanations in regard to past history and so forth.

It doesn't sound positive for you. I personally would not have any benefit from seeing a therapist who was making rules about what I could talk about or refusing me the opportunity to voice concerns I had, no matter what they may be.

For me I can usually sense from the first appointment on if this is going to be a beneficial working relationship or not, although I try to reserve judgement until after a few appointments because I don't want to be too hasty in judgement.
