Is something going on with her right now? Or are her scheduling problems chronic? My therapist on occasion has times when he is extremely erratic with his schedule. It is not at all good for me. Just a heads up on that topic.
I saw two different therapists while mine was gone. Neither were good long term fits for me. So I suppose my main thought would be to realize that one session or six sessions or however many is not a commitment. It's ok to "date" a therapist to see if they're worth a long term commitment.
That being said, it's good that you're feeling that you're clicking with her. I hope she ends up being a good long term choice.
I did like the way I got a new perspective on things with one of the two substitute therapists. After a long time with one therapist, you can get in the habit of viewing things in one way, and a new therapist can point out a new way of thinking.
I'm glad you're willing to wade into the water again. That says a lot of good things about the relationship your previous therapist and you built.
