I feel very uneasy just thinking of going to my therapy sessions

I started Therapy 3 weeks ago, and I know this is too soon for me to judge how it's going, but it's making me cry and panic and I feel that this isn't just the normal "discomfort" of doing something new.

I'm 17, I started seeing this therapist and during our first session, she asked me what I'd like to work on, I told her how I've been feeling lately, it was difficult since I'm not good at talking, and immediately after I told her I was stressed and exlerienced panic attacks before, she told me if I was okay with starting EMDR. Ofc I said yes, since I was confused and thoughts it was gonna help, but the issue is that the session is of 45 mins, 30 mins EMDR with 15 mins to talk about how I'm feeling, and that just doesnt feel like enough, she didn't give me time to tell her how I was feeling, I tried suggesting doing 1,5 hr instead, but i refrained cuz while she gave too many facial reactions to what I say, whenever i took time to think she'd look impatient, whenever i said smth and tried to elaborate she'd just hurry me up and say "yeah yeah I understand" and cut me off, so now I feel like Im not comfortable and Im scared, after all to *me* she's a stranger who im trying to open up to, and Im getting judged.

Id like to get some advice, should i see a psychiatrist instead (i suspect ive depression) or should i see a different therapist, or stick with this one and wait?
