I am beyond frustrated because it took forever to find her. Things started off so well. Ugh!!!

It sounds like she isn't very adept at creating boundaries and structure for you, which is very important to your treatment. Saying, "Come in if you want to talk" isn't an appointment. She should have made a firm appointment with you. Being available on chat frequently and responding to many e-mails seems like she is spreading herself too thin. She may be very well-meaning, but she isn't setting boundaries with her patients and it seems like it's causing her to slip in her ability to treat them. I'm sure you're not the only patient whose dealing with her inconsistency.
She sounds a little inexperienced. Boundaries and structure is Psych 101 and she's not implementing it. That would make me wary enough to look elsewhere for treatment.
