i hope i'm not making a mistake, but right now it feels so right for me to stop...
i'll only be here for 9 more months, it costs a lot of money, it is very stressful....
the reason i thought i needed to keep going was just in case i got myself into trouble and needed someone in an emergency- but she doesn't seem to be that person to be there outside of the weekly hour anyways...
so, yeah, hmm , i am gonna quit. just rambling. sorry

If in doubt, talk to your T before you do. Or, read Poet's post re:same subject. It's hard to quit, but even harder to go back. Good Luck!
Having support for 9 months before you leave sounds reasonable enough.

Do you like your T? Maybe you have no real connection with her and it's just a matter of finding someone more right for you. What are your T's phone policies? Does she allow you to contact her over the phone between sessions?
Try talking to her about how unsupported you feel and see if she'll extend herself for you. If not, you're probably better off changing Ts right away not being stuck in a relationship that goes nowhere for another 9 costly months. Don't give up on therapy altogether though! :)
