The therapist's age is very important to me. Personally, I would wait to see the older T. There are many factors at work here. I would have respect for the younger T, but the reality remains, she does not have enough life experience and training to work with a client who is fairly older. This is a tough one because many older Ts can be inept. One of the most important criteria for having an effective therapist is that they have had extensive therapy themselves.....very important. I've witnessed the damage inexperience and/or poor training has had on some people. You may be better off in the long run to be patient and wait it out.
