Do you have any sense of if this T is someone you could grow to trust? As others have said, there's nothing wrong with trying someone else. That said, I think there's also a period of time especially early in the relationship where the T needs to get to know you (I sometimes call this, jokingly, "training" the T). In the vast majority of cases I suspect it takes time before you can really open up to someone (and that's probably healthy, to some extent).

But it is your choice. You can decide now or at any point in the future that it's not working with this T and stop seeing them for whatever reason you want (including "I just don't want to anymore").
The main issue is I don't have that time. She's a counselor at my school and I graduate soon. As I'm writing this I'm realizing that even if I switched I'd only have a month with the therapist before I'd have to stop because I graduate. Not sure what I'm going to do.
