I kind of agree with what everyone else said but I have a little bit of a twist -- Maybe you need either a different style of therapy or a really, really smart therapist.
When you know a lot, often you can work circles around someone and they might not even know it. If you see a therapist who has experience working with others in the profession, it is much harder to "hide" your problems. It sounds to me like your therapist is inadvertantly colluding with you to not go deep.
My other thought is that this therapist did see you when you were pretty suicidal and not fuctioning well. She may think you aren't strong enough to rip that apart again - given that you are functioning in your job and in your life.
Bottom line is you won't know if she can help you unless you risk telling her you need help. Wouldn't you want one of your clients to tell you if you were off track?
Good luck with this.
