Hmmm. Therapists and pdoc don't always give us what we want but hopefully they'll give us what we need. Anything beyond that is a blessing. If you are really feeling frustrated, I would inquire and probe. You've already invested a year of your life into this relationship and that bears some weight. Perhaps you can ask yourself, are you really getting anything out of this, is the therapy progressing. Sometimes therapy doesn't progress and it's just like slogging through mud. That comes with the territory. But it seems your dilema is two-fold. First you want her to be the one and your not sure she is and second, you want her to care for you as a client/patient. And you seem to be unsure of that as well. Is that accurate? I hope you come to a clearer resolution and feeling more satisfied. It is good to work with *ugh* transference.
