Sometimes T's and clients' personalities don't click for whatever reason, and think that maybe that was part of what was going on here. My T has told me once when I was afraid of him telling me to go away that he's never gotten sick of anyone, except for one person who their personalities just weren't right together and that person treated him really badly. He said he would have terminated that client if it had been his private practice, but he was working for an agency and had to see the person. The person eventually left, and he thinks it's because he could sense they weren't clicking.
I hope she deals with whatever she needs to. But I have dealt with some amazing interns at the university that I go to. My T isn't an intern, but some group leaders have been. And they were absolutely wonderful, and while they tend to give a 'textbook' T response more than my T does, they really helped me. So I hope you don't hold it against all interns because one person screwed up. I do understand why you wouldn't want to work with one again, though, and I agree that you need to find someone more experienced to process this with.
Good luck,
