I know that when my first therapist retired after I saw her for two years (two years of hell and she stuck with me), I wanted to do something very very special for her. I knitted her a beautiful afgan (fisherman's knit) and gave it to her at our last session with a card and a lot of tears. I wanted her to know that her ability to cover me with her care and concern was something I appreciated more than she could ever know. I even made a mistake in the middle of the project and didn't notice it until two weeks before I had my last session. It meant leaving it "as is" or taking it all out and re doing it. I choose to take it out and spend every last minute redoing it. I never regretted that decision and eight years later, I still miss her. She was a wonderful and supportive therapist.

I'm sorry yours is leaving and I know that you will find just the right gift to give her . .. along with just the right words!
