I hate to think that she doesn't want to tell me things because we're not friends. That conversation depresses me but now I can't seem to let it go so I probably need to talk about it again with my T. She will probably just show me a photo of her boyfriend if I ask again. Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing?

Uh...maybe your question is rhetorical, but because what you're doing in that room is therapy, not friendship? It's what she's paid to do, and what you or your insurance are paying for.
And really, does knowing about her
not harm your therapy? It seems your therapy is often all about your desire to know more about her, not about working on whatever the issue is (unless that is why you are in therapy, to learn more about her).
Sorry if that's harsh. But I think that may be the way she thinks.
