Has he given you a tour of the office? I'm not sure how yours is set up, so maybe there isn't much to tour. I don't know.
My T moved into a new building a few months ago. In his case, it is a practice with two pdocs and I'm not sure how many therapists. The first time I went there, T took me on a tour. In and out of every room (that wasn't occupied anyway), including the office, the kitchen, and the restroom. I wasn't particularly anxious about the office change, but T recognized it could be a problem and did his best to make me feel at home (even let me get a drink out the refrigerator). We had fun critiquing the interior decorating in some the offices, and then we headed to his office. He had some new furniture, including a new couch (loveseat actually) for his patients to sit on. He said, "Try it out. Tell me what you think." I didn't like it actually and told him so, and then we moved into our session.
If your T's office is large, with many rooms, maybe that would help? Just a thought.
