Well, if you were looking for a therapist, you'd expect to interview a few before finding one that was a good fit, wouldn't you? Just because this one was recommended by your therapist doesn't mean it's a good fit for you.
If you don't like her approach to therapy, you have every right to look for a therapist who is more what you're looking for.
I recognize the disappointment that can come from a bad recommendation from someone we care about and expect to know us. My therapist gave me a few awful recommendations, and one good one. I think it's normal to hope that our therapist put a lot of care into who they recommend for us. But even if your therapist did, she only knows this person as a colleague, not as a therapist. It's ok if your old therapist was wrong about this.
