I am so sorry! This is terrible, and I can see how you'd feel abandoned and angry. I think I'd write her a letter and tell her that while you understand her stress level, given her choice to work so much, that doesn't excuse the fact that she's abandoning people who relied on her and continue to need therapy. I'd also mention that she is the 2nd T to just up and quit, and you'd like a referral to a T with staying power. Of course, this is my gut reaction. She wouldn't take it so well I'm sure, given that it's pretty tactless. Maybe temper it with your good common sense and more tact.
I think it's a huge cop-out for her to quit and not refer you to someone, and it's unfair for her to just assume you're okay with all of this without actually working through this with you. I mean, after all, she would have to know that you were abandoned once before, right?
I hope you can find someone who can go the long haul next time. I'd even tell them about this and ask if it's likely that they'll be leaving practice, moving, or anything else which will leave you high and dry.
