I disagree with two of you, Seeker and Sci-Fi, talking about text-book case approach, and the detachment of one because of the money.
I believe that this is not how it works. I believe that there are tons of psychologist that became who they are out of need to help people, that want to help them. There is many people, not only psychologists that care about people even if then see them for the first time. Heck, some people care about people they have never seen. I, for instance, feel often for people in here, that I have never spoken to, just read their stories, or temporary problems. And just like that, there is tons of people in the psychology realm that deeply care for those who seek them, and want them to help. I dont believe they are like "lets get his honeysuckle with this dumbass over with so I can get paid".
Of course, there are many people who are psychologist, and some are like that, and some are like that. They are different as well.
And try to understand their position. Two things mostly, the money thing, and the detachment thing. Money..They have to feed their family, right? I know it may create the barrier between patient/costumer and them, but this is how the world work. People need to get paid. There is no going around it. Maybe if we lived in a money-free world, they would still be psychologist. I believe they would most likely be psychologists. And that is because if they were into it for money, why the heck would they have chosen psychology to study? That is not that lucrative area. Its a nice well paid job I guess, but they could have chosen something more lucrative. That leads me to a conclusion that they chosen their school because they wanted to help, because they feel compassionate towards people, and want them to feel better.
And the second, the detachment. I heard that the burn-out syndrome (or something like that, I will explain) is quite common among them. That is because of they feel close to the people they see and try to help. When they do bad, they feel bad for them, and feel bad for not being able to help them. It often is a reason for depression among psychologists, as well as other negative things. If you were a wife, husband, of a psychologist, would you urge him to feel attached to patients, or rather to try to be detached, not to get burned himself/herself? Its not easy.
The thing is, that they protect themselves. Not that they dont care. They are in extremely vulnerable position, please, try to realize that. Analogy may be that people say that you may not depend on finding bf/gf for you to get better. Its not wrong, of course. And that is the same thing that psychologists may want. To be detached from you because of you, for you to find the solutions in your life, and not them to do it, as you would depend on them. If you started to feel as his friend, as it may happen, he would have thousand friends (a joke...kinda). He/She needs you to help your life. But it cant be him/her to it for you. I feel they need to be like this for themselves by a large part...And for you as well.
I think its wrong to think so negatively of them as you two did. I think they deserve our great respect for being there for us, becoming who they are for us to get better, for them to be able to help us. And they did help a lot of people. Many psychologists are great great people, that we should be thankful for that they may be in our lives to make them better. We cant think of them as an unemotional unliving object. They are people as well. They feel as well, they want to live as well. They may not be our friends I guess. But that doesnt mean they are bad, detached from all. They are to us who they are. And for friends of their they are someone else, although the same person.
I´m thankful for them, that they are there to help those who seek help.
I hope you will reconsider your stand point at least a little bit based on what I wrote. You dont have to of course.

To the OP question.
No.
Would be a waste of his/her time, to spend it on me.
That is why I´m here, to cope with my loneliness some other way
