Is it OK to still feel like I have made the right decision for myself even if she sort of said the opposite? Often my T tells me that the best thing is to be around people. But sometimes I just know that I need some time by myself, even when I am depressed.

I am a strong believer in the idea that we know best what we need to heal. My T taught me that. Look inside and listen and you will know. Good for you for following your gut. My T also sometimes makes suggestions that are not the best for me (although he always has my best interests at heart). Sometimes we talk about it so he understands why I may make a different choice (and he learns more about me and what I need) and so I can learn his rationale, which is valuable to me too.

Amen! If you say those words to your T, it seems like she will understand better where you were at.
