[Video] Is My Psychologist Out Of Line?

I have been in therapy since I was 14. I recently got a new therapist who is a guy, and I'm a girl. I'm now 16 and have been seeing him for about 6 months now to try and treat my depression and bulimia. At first I really liked him. But a couple of months back once he had gotten to know me better, he started touching me. And in no way do I mean sexually, but I don't like being touched by anyone. One time, he put his hand on my leg and I asked him to back off. He apologized and it was fine. He has asked me personal questions about my sex life, and encouraged me to answer them even though I didn’t feel comfortable doing so. I thought it was all part of the therapy, but when I thought about it, it kind of didn't make sense. I thought this man was a genuinely nice guy, but now I don't know whether he is a creep, or he is just an open person. He said he looks forward to seeing me every week because he thinks of me as a friend and that he can relax. He's told me heaps of stuff about his family, even showed me pictures of his kids. He's told me about his past... I don't know, maybe it's just me, but that kind of stuff doesn't seem normal, but he's such an understanding guy, not like your average creep and I do really like him. He's probably the best psychologist I've seen. Is this stuff normal? Help?
