Hi Dinah,
I'm so sorry that your therapist chose this cruel way to tell you that he is terminating you. After 20 years, crisis or not, you deserve something more personal than an email that he probably just cut and pasted to everyone he sees.
I would have a terrible time starting over with a new therapist. Especially one you know nothing about, again if he sent a personal email he might have said why this new person might be a good fit. Therapists are not one type fits all and he should know that, but I'll cut him a small bit of slack if he is in such a crisis state that he was forced to abandon his professionalism.
Perhaps that you have been late and cancelling appointments will help you get through this as it shows that you have the strength to attempt to go it alone.
I'm here to lend at least a sympathetic ear/eye and here is a lightning bolt cyber slap to your T's head.
