What the hell?
How can talking not come naturally to you? That's ridiculous. It's like saying to an able-bodied person that walking just doesn't come naturally to him.
Any problem you have with speech should be possible to alleviate with speech therapy.
That therapist sounds like a dumbass. You should get a second opinion.

I have the same thing so I know what you're talking about. It is hard. The gift of word is probably the MOST important gift you can have in this world, for your social life, your professional life, your romantic life... It's the main thing that entertains and attract people. I also did therapy and acting classes but it doesn't help. If the talent is not there... yeah it is JUST NOT THERE ... You should just accept it. Some guys will never walk or see. Be happy that it is just "this" issue you're dealing with.
What I do is talking to myself a lot, it helps to get you to a certain level. It's not enough but every bits help. For gaming I try to go more caveman style.

I guess it's like a developmental disorder. The words just don't come to mind for me.

Yeah it sucks so much not being able to articulate. It feels like I'm stuck in a mental prison.

"Does having a speech disorder kill your chances of getting laid ?"
No, cuz the less you talk, the better it is. Being talkative is not sexy.
