How does your mother know that therapy isn't helping you? She isn't YOU. She is not the one receiving therapy. There is no way for her to know if therapy is/isn't helping you unless you explicitly tell her. So, it's obvious that she's making assumptions about you and therapy, which is wrong of her.
Personally (and this is just me), I would ask her
why she doesn't think therapy is helping me. Then I would proceed to tell her what therapy has helped me with. That puts the spotlight on her and forces her to think about what she's actually saying. (Sometimes parents are ignorant and don't realize how ignorant they're being.)
Anyway, I hope you can work out the cost of therapy with your therapist.
