I think you have a problem with trusting people. Your T would be unethical if she felt you needed more help than she could provide alone and didn't try to arrange for you to get it. It doesn't mean she wants to dump you at all. It's surprising that you would think that.
Also, working in groups might help you feel less distrustful of other people. It's very unlikely you'll meet someone you know and very unlikely anybody will ridicule you. I have done 3 IOP programs and they've been incredibly helpful. They structure your days when you're depressed and alone too much and usually do a lot of very helpful CBT and DBT exercises.
You may be surprised and find you really get a lot out of the program and think how much you will have to talk to your T about when you return.
