granite, I agree that you don't need to tell your therapist you checked out her private office location, and that she wouldn't care if you did. Mine moved recently, and rather rapidly, but she told me where it was located as soon as she signed the lease. I asked if it would be creepy if I went inside the building to check it out and get the lay of the land (there are different entrances and exits to it), and she said not creepy at all--the building is unlocked weekdays.

I just say that because if you felt shy about the private drive sign, your therapist might assure you that you could go up to and inside the building. She might even see that as a positive way for you to transition, if only mentally. I know it helped me--not that I liked the old office (I hated it)--but I needed to visualize the layout to and from the office.
