I'm glad you have your boss's support in this.
I think Annierose is right. I know you don't want to focus on your therapist leaving, but maybe this is the time you should be shoring up the other legs on your support stool, so that you have other ways of balancing the weight before she goes.
Whether that means another therapist, or developing outside sources of support, now is the time when her support hasn't yet been lost.
I hate to say it, because I know how I'd feel in your situation. I'd be saying therapists aren't washing machines. I can't go to the next machine just because this one has been taken out of service. And that's entirely true. No one will ever replace your therapist just like no one will ever replace my therapist.
But that doesn't mean you can't and shouldn't develop other sources of support.
