T’s room appx 10ft x 10, but ceiling is 12, so when seated I feel like I’m at the bottom of a box – try not to think about it.
As you enter, 2 wing chairs are on the far end, not quite facing. If we sat forward our fingers might touch, don’t know. Straight across from me a very boring couch, it’s all I have to look at except T. To see the clock I must look 90 degrees left (and it seems very impolite to do so, which bugs me. Her chair is angled, so she can just glance at it). 
No footstool, no coffee table. We used to meet in an unused classroom and I was glad to have a table between T and me; now there is nothing between, I would prefer it the other way 
I really dislike “my” wing chair - keep having to choose whether to have my feet touch the floor, or have support for my back. Sitting straight up ion the edge of it for an hour is tiring, but sitting far enough into it to rest my back makes me feel like I am being swallowed up by that chair. It’s uncomfortable / distracting / anxiety producing, depending on the moment.
One of these days I am going to roll up Phoenix7’s blanket, and set it behind my back as a lumbar roll 
Very good: Window is very near, with trees and daylight through the blinds.
Very bad: The room is not very soundproofed.
Her waiting area is very silent. The last 2 times I waited there, I recognized her voice from my seat  & had to go one room farther away to wait, lest I make out words.
If someone remembers to close the additional door to her hallway this would fix the waiting room problem, but I have a feeling that people in offices next to or across from hers, or walking in her hallway, can overhear some of what is being said. Especially as I get angry sometimes, or upset, and when that happens I know I’m loud…
