If you aren't already going to a community mental health clinic, is there any way to go to such a clinic or free or low-cost (i.e., sliding scale) therapy? I don't know how insurance works with those places, but people on this forum do go to these community clinics. Of course, the therapists there might not be that great compared to private therapists, but you could certainly try out someone there to see if you connect at all. After all, you don't connect with the other lady in your current office anyway, so I don't think it would hurt to look into a community clinic. 
Yes, my therapist is at a community clinic. I don't pay to see her. My pdoc is at the same clinic (pdoc is outstanding, if rather eccentric).
I adore my therapist; I just get...frustrated with, and hurt by, some of her behavior. Honestly, I think at least some part of the problem is her age. She's 69, not in great health, and there are things...for example, she has a terrible memory.
Also -- and I don't know if this is true for everyone because I've never done this myself -- sometimes churches can assist in getting someone free or low-cost therapy. Here's a good article about it: How to Find Someone to Talk to When You Can't Afford Therapy
Hope that info helps.
Thank you for the link! I'm going to check it out right now.
