I agree with Pachyderm that this agency is not working in the best interests of your mental health. But, unlike Pachyderm, I can understand your uncertainty, after having finally found a therapist you can connect to. But I really think that, hard as the decision may be, it would be in your best interests not to consent to the hospitalization. I think the therapist will understand and respect your decision, especially if you tell her how much you appreciate her (which you probably already have done), and that she will try her best to refer you to another therapist. And I would guess that eventually, after this big mess at the agency has been cleared up (which could take a couple of years) or she has switched to another group, you could resume working with her.
I am really sorry you have gotten involved in this big mess that sounds like the agency head letting his ego/personal problems interfere with client best interests. I am sure that the going will be tough for you for a while, but you are clearly a very intelligent person with a good head on your shoulders. Please keep making the effort to listen to that good head to help guide you when your emotions tempt you to do something hazardous (like accepting the hospitalization).
