This might sound counter-intuitive but - tell your therapist exactly this.

That you don't feel heard (ideally, why that is), how you feel about her stance on medication, that you're tired of therapy and don't know how to benefit of it right now (maybe coupled with what beneficial would look like to you) and whatever else is in your head in regards to this session.

This may seem confrontational, but it really isn't (or doesn't have to be). It is providing crucial information to a professional about where your head is at in regards to the therapeutic process the both of you (ostensibly) want to start together. It will help her understand where you're coming from and maybe her reaction will help you get a better feel for if you are indeed a good fit, or not.

I wish you good luck!
