Get a referral to another therapist. You can't be gaining anything from her since you have become emotionally involved with her, whether she returns your interest or not. Talk to the new therapist about falling in love with your last therapist. If you are comfortable with someone who is helping you, it is very normal to fall in love with him/her. It happens all the time. Take it as an indication that whatever problems you were having that caused you to see her, your mental state and hormones are working normally. You will live through it.

I would stop seeing her so you don't have to get your heart broken any more then it is. I know it's the first love that you even known but there will be others just give it time.
