I am so sorry Okie. (((hugs)))
She terminated in a horrible, awful, damaging way.

Though I am not a "therapist" but a social worker, we do have a process of terminating a client so that it's not traumatic! It's a move made together when the client is ready. After termination there is a follow-up and then a decision to either reopen service, or completely terminate.

In your situation of your therapist cutting down hours, I think she did it very poorly. My T is in the process of retiring. She's cut her hours from a full time 5 day a week practice, to 2 days a week. She gave plenty of time to process with the clients getting them referrals and letting them decide themselves who was going and staying.

I, again, am so sorry about how your T chose to do this. It shows a lack of professionalism and training on her part by terminating so inappropriately.
