I hate my new mental health advisor

Honestly I hate my new mental health advisor. Instead of her helping me which is just being extremely unhelpful and just saying basically that because she is a mental health advisor that her role is limited. Meanwhile my previous mental health advisor was able to help me with all these things I’m asking her to do. She is literally so unhelpful and it’s causing me a lot of stress because I need her help with applying for grants and also to provide a reference for an internship. I have used mental health professionals before as referees yet with this mental health advisor she is saying she can’t do it and she misread the guidance. Then with the grant application she said she can’t do it because she isn’t one of the listed examples of people who can help. I swear to god, you can’t make this up. They are literally examples just to give applicants an idea of the types of people who can help, it doesn’t need to be exact. I am literally just wondering is it me who needs help or her. Literally so stupid.

Why would it be the role of a mental health advisor to give references or or help you apply for grants (unless the grant is somehow in relation to your mental health)?
