if "the purpose of a system is what it does"
then I feel very comfortable saying that therapy, as an institution,
is primarily meant to establish and enforce a kind of banal normalcy, placating feelings that could lead you to radical enacted dissidence while also pathologizing any significant deviations that make you less useful to capital
and then---only secondarily---to actually help people improve their lives
