Mine is basically a solo practice in a center that houses a group of solo practitioners if that makes any sense. They share office staff, etc., but he owns his own practice. The main pdoc is the owner of the center and basically others lease space and staff and services from the center. That is a different set-up from my pdoc whose practice is a corporation basically owned by a group of pdocs who are partners in practice.
As far as safety goes, honestly, I've never worried about safety with my therapists, but they have all been in office space shared with other therapists or doctors. I have no idea how I'd feel meeting a therapist alone in a office with no one else around since I haven't had that experience. I might find that uncomfortable, but I'm not really sure. I've never had reason for a minute to be nervous about my safety around my therapists; they have been consumate professionals.
