MGTOW shrink?

I don't think a psychologist or psychiatrist would try to push you into a relationship if you expressed that you weren't interested, but if you're wanting to discuss the current state of affairs it'd probably be better with a male than a female. Gender aside, they'd probably be able to at least respond objectively and not feel insulted or targeted.

I would talk around MGTOW, in just terms like, "I don't want to date anyone right now" or "I need to work on myself".

You have no idea how MGTOW will be received. I just wouldn't use the word, but perhaps the ideas, not based on anti-feminism, so I wouldn't go into reasons other than, you just don't feel like being with a partner or whatever.

I only mention this, because psychiatry is a very female dominated field. And like sociology, very feminist. The act of not wanting to mate may be viewed as a mental disorder and source of your depression.

Now in a theoretical world, psychiatry is supposed to be ethical and neutral and not push agendas on you. So you have an ethical standard, you're fine, however psychiatry also has the highest instances of ethical violations.

Certainly as /u/Mr_Career_Day suggests, a male counselor would be best for you if this is going to be relevant. That won't necessarily make it better, but it will probably increase the chances of not having to face someone you're looking for help from if you happen to mention how you have no interest in their gender.

I suppose you'll be able to feel them out when you talk to them, and you don't have to bring it up or discuss it from the get go, you're in control of your sessions. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to discuss certain things until you want to.

I've thought about becoming one for MGTOW. I wouldn't expect more than a handful of return visits from only a handful of the clientele. What a MGTOW psychologist has to share will help men build their own foundation and teach them how to maintain it so they do not need a shrink. I'm not sure how that business model would pan out.
