Apologize to her for saying and doing this. She didn't deserve to be treated this poorly. (I'M-NO-ANGEL DEPARTMENT: I do the same thing with people, so I understand your angst; however, I always end up apologizing.)> I owe her for 3 appointments. Should I even pay her?

You answered your own question with "I feel that she's harmed me more than helped me" ... that being the case, then service wasn't provided (but only from your point of view); hence, no need for compensation. But from her point of view, service *was* provided and, thus, will hold you to your end of the deal; however, if she's aware of your financial status, then she won't bother you.She was angry with your suicide attempt/ideation because it points to her as a FAILURE in her discipline. A professional does not like, or want, to fail. They're not suppose to, but when they do, they feel it just as badly as all other survivors of a suicide. This is not the kind of "feeling" one wants, or needs, so understand why she reacted that way.
