dave, sorry for your experience. It sucks that you had a counselor that you seemed to click with, but it's best that you do not have a counselor with who you are mutually sexually attractive. Plus, she is new to counseling.
I have been in counseling, and a few of my therapists have been very attractive women who I would fall for. However, I kept things in the friend zone. As much as I might fantasize, I am there for therapy, not sex nor a personal relationship.
Having a relationship with a counselor can be extremely messy and opens the patient up for abuse. If your counselor was a little less ethical, she could really take advantage of someone like you. On the flip side, a counselor has to be careful that the patient doesn't get so attached as to be a stalker. I've seen it happen to both male and female counselors.
Remember, you are there for therapy, not to get laid. If the therapy is successful, your self confidence will increase, and the sex will follow.
