Therapy isn't pseudoscience but the reproducibility crisis is real. There's also the issue that if you change a therapist, their approach to treating, diagnosing a condition will change. With modern medicine, we have tests and reports and doctor's don't've that much of a leeway on how they treat a condition. We have medical malpractice lawsuits when doctor's go out of line.
Like the parent mentioned, the reproducibility crisis didn't change anything, we also can't be sure how many doctors actually took these findings into account.
The point I'm trying to make is that it is really difficult to identify bad therapists. It'll take a while before it's reliable enough and that's okay, but therapy gets thrown around as an option like it is.
