I think your therapist has given you a good suggestion and you ought to seriously consider it. She just might not feel that she has been trained to do therapy that is based on the therapeutic relationship. Not all therapists are.
PhD's aren't the most important thing. A good fit and a therapist who knows how to help you in the ways that you need help are the most important thing.
And I rather suspect that your therapist kept those things in mind when making a recommendation. After all, she's had time to get to know you and I'm sure she wants what's best for you.
Feelings are feelings. They just are. They aren't right or wrong or good or bad. The therapist that was recommended to you might just be the right person to help you sort out those feelings.
Nothing truly horrible has happened to me in my life. I just have a finely wired nervous system. Therapy and meds can be enormously helpful.
