Now, I'm not an expert, but I've talked about something a little similar with my T. I work hard at NOT seeing her as an Authority Figure -- where I have my problems -- and she says that I kinda have to, that that's the transference that needs to happen in order for therapy to be successful.
I know that's different from what you're saying, in that I'm not wishing she was my "parental figure" or the equivalent, but I think it's similar enough. That we kinda have to transfer to them the unresolved feelings we have so that we can resolve them.
But, regardless, I think it's OK that you wish your T was your father...
