Perhaps since your options are limited you could explore them again as possibilities? Perhaps if you really haven't really sat down with them, you might find them more workable that you thought? Something to explore maybe.

There are 3 other T's in the clinic besides mine. The one I would consider working with does substance abuse clients only, which doesn't fit my needs. The 2 others are young women. Kind of embarrassing...I saw 1 of them for 2 sessions, but never went back because (although she was very sweet) she was a horrible therapist. I felt sorry for her. I wanted to say...I think you've chosen the wrong career  Then my pdoc hooked me up with my T...it's hard for people to get in with her because she's really well-liked.
The other therapist is this super-prissy person, also quite young, and not at all friendly. I kind-of cringe when I've seen her because she reminds me of the kind of person who, if she was an elementary school teacher, she would be the one the kids would hope they didn't get because she has such a dull personality. (I feel sorry for her.)
Mostly, though, it's about age. I'm 57 and doing therapy with someone the age of my kids...I just can't get into it.
So my options really are limited. I feel very cautious about getting into a new therapy situation that ends up being a dead end altogether.
