He is only a part time T and has another job working with people with physical disabilities, which i think is contributing to his stress.

Oh geez, I'm sorry. How rotten... to have found a T that understands you and is helpful, and then to have him possibly be leaving.
Did he give any indication of when he'll know if he's fit for practice? To me, the fact that he's assessing this is a really good sign - it means he's aware of how his emotional state affects his clients, and wants to make sure that he's capable of being there for you. That's great. I just would hate to be stuck in this place of limbo, waiting to hear if he's going to stay or not, for long. So, if he hasn't told you yet... I think you should absolutely ask him.
Have you thought about asking him directly... if he decides he can't continue, what's the plan? Since he knows you so well, it's possible that he might be able to give you a really great referral that will work well for you (rather than just random other Ts that he thinks well of).
I'm sorry if I'm jumping the gun here... and I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. I hope he makes a decision one way or the other, so that you can figure out the next steps... rather than being stuck in this place of not knowing what's going to happen
