Hey Liz,
Sorry I'm late reading this post. I feel so bad that you're going through this right now, and I know exactly what you mean about only having so much time left in college and not wanting to start a relationship that will take time to build only to have it end soon. I just left my old therapist (whom I loved) and have a new one now, and I think it's just sort of a waste of time and money to see him often and to spend all these sessions building the foundation for future work... when there really won't be time for future work.
Honestly, though, it sounds like your therapist is even more confused than you are. Even though you really love her, maybe you would do better with someone else who is more experienced and more sure of herself and confident enough to admit her mistakes. I've seen a lot of psych residents, and even though I've liked them a lot, especially since they're young, I have felt much more uneasy and confused because they're still trying to figure this therapy stuff out.
Anyway, I really really hope it all works out for you. Sorry I don't have more to say.
CB
