Hmmmmm. My first one, no, because she was a cruel, unprofessional bitch. Second was a Psychiatrist, and it really only "worked" as I wanted to be well enough not to see her again lol!
A therapist is only any good if their desire is to help you live without them.

I saw one therapist, and 1 psychiatrist. It doesn't work for me at all.

first, because I am just unable to trust them, and second, because I can convince them of anything.....like the fact that I feel SO MUCH BETTER, and am happy and affirmed. (sarcasm)

my fear and unwillingness to share makes it impossible and a huge waste of time.

I have heard that you only get out of therapy what you are willing to put in. I think that if you are not willing to be honest, and if you are "comfortable" in your misery , as in used to it and scared of NOT being miserable, then chances are good you are just pissing away your money. I had to be ready to change, I wanted to change, but did not know how. A therapist will give you the tools you need to change, be that coping tools, medicine for chemical imbalances, whatever. If you don't USE these things, then they will not work for you. And that is no guarantee that everything or even anything will work for you. You just have to keep on with the trial and error until you find something that works for you. And as two heads, especially if one has some education on the subject, are better than one, therapy can be something really good.
