She doesn't need to seem like your mother for it to be transference. I had strong paternal (and a bit of erotic) transference for my former marriage counselor, but he wasn't like my dad. He was more as I wish my dad (and mom) had been--validating, accepting of me (including my mental illnesses and faults), reassuring. I became very attached to him and looked to him for approval and reassurance. There was clearly some countertransference there as well. So that could be what's going on with you?

I'm concerned about you saying your T denied you visits for a month. Do you mean she wouldn't let you have sessions? That doesn't seem right (and definitely suggests countertransference from her).
