You may very well have a romantic and/or sexual interest in your therapist. But more often I think we develop these (non-sexual) "crushes" on our therapists, irrespective of our gender, our counselors', or anyone's sexual preference. It makes a lot of sense if you dissect it. Most of us end up in therapy because we have trust issues relative to sexual or physical abuse, emotional abandonment or what have you. And either we do not feel safe talking to friends or loved ones, or we're worried we're imposing or that our friends will tire of hearing us complain. So we seek out an individual with whom we feel "safe", someone who is paid NOT to get bored. That safety and interest that is shown us by our therapists can then resemble love, attraction, even mutual affection.

If you've developed a rapport with your therapist, asking her about that phenomenon may be the perfect way to clear the air and allow you to continue to work together. If you think you cannot overcome your romantic interests, then you should ask about a referral, but do not be ashamed of your feelings. It is natural to have warm and/or confusing thoughts about someone who spends an uninterrupted 50 minutes caring only about you.
