Sarah....
I'm not sure of this because I am not in your actual situation...but here is what could be going on....
Your parents thought you had problems, so they set you up with a T because they wanted the T to say "Yes, you have problems, you must change and be better....I agree with your parents, you are bad. We must change you."
Now that you're in T, you have developed a bond with T and she is respecting your right to privacy and not sharing your private matters with your parents. Thus...they are no longer in control of that therapeutic relationship, other than contributing financially to it. Now they are seeing that you are making progress, but they are worried because you are learning healthy ways and you are starting to see through them. This is not what they intended.
Sometimes parents send us to doctors to prove we are sick or bad, only to find out that you are okay and the issues are theirs. It sounds like now they may be feeling threatened by what you are learning and the fact that they have no control over it and no right to know what is being discussed so they want to sabotage your treatment and send you to another T who will support "their best interests" instead of "your best interests."
I hope that makes sense and offers you another angle to look at this from. 
I think you need to share all of this with your T, if you haven't already!!!
Stay strong, stand up for yourself, and be your own best advocate!!!
