My therapist never use to hug her client's either and she never reach out like your therapist. Then one day I asked her if I could give her a hug. That changed everything. She had to take a few weeks to think about it before she actually did it but then she hugged me and caught me when I wasn't expecting it. Now and then she gives me hugs and now she reaches out to touch me as well. It helped me a lot when she did that. Made therapy a lot easier to attend. Maybe ask your therapist if you could hug her! She may surprise you!
