Do you see your t at home or in an office?

Just curious to see if it makes any difference. I have seen two in an office and one at home. It was strange going to ts house and also I didn't even know if she was married or had kids. I seen her for over a year.
Other two ts- well there offices are very different, one is really cosy and home and the other was cold and clinical and it was hard for me to open up in those surroundings.
How do you find it, or does it bother you where you see t?

Both in an office. 20 or so years ago I did do marriage counseling with my first husband and it was at the therapists house. You know I can not even remember one session. I just have quick memories of what the room looks like.

I have never seen a therapist in their home. The ones I have seen have all been in an office with no secretary or staff. Just the therapist's office and a waiting room in a building. I probably lean more towards finding not cozy better.
I don't think I would like going to their home office. I saw one for a very short period of time who, along with a couple of other therapists, who rented an apartment and had made the rooms into individual offices with a common waiting area in the apartment foyer. I thought it was awful because of all the other people around. They did not have a secretary either - they were all sole practitioners who shared space.
The one I see describes her office as warm and inviting in her blurb on the internet. I would not describe it as such, but it is not especially offensive except for the awful couch and lack of a chair as an option.

I've always seen my therapists in their office. I did see a pdoc at one point who had his office in his home with a HUGE window looking out into the Gulf of Mexico. I could have sat and looked out that window forever.

My T is in a counseling group. They have an office with an actual office/payment area, bathrooms, and six rooms (for individual, couples, and group counseling). It is decently decorated and warm and inviting enough.

I see mine at her home and for the life of me I can't remember what it looks like, just the walk to her office and back out.

At an office - well, it's a therapy centre with 3-4 rooms in it.

I would HATE to go to a T's house.

all 3 t's I've seen in their offices. My current t, well she works out of her home now so when we have our phone sessions, she's in her home office, but that doesn't count. LOL

Both my T and pdoc practice out of offices in large office buildings.

I see my T at an office with other T's, but he also runs a private practice at his house. I like the office....it's cozy and I'm used to it, but the walls are too thin. I can often hear out to the waiting area if people are loud out there.

I've only seen T's in an office. It would weird me out going to someone's home, and I don't really want to do that with someone who is just my T (i.e., we can not be friends). And, as someone who has gotten very attached to 2 T's, it would not be a good idea for me to be in their home- for either one of us. All of the offices I've been in have been quite cozy though.

I saw a former T in a home office. I didn't think too much of it, except the one time I could hear someone walking around upstairs. I think it was her boyfriend. That was kind of weird.

I only saw my T in his office but I always knew where he lived he never hid that.. I always knew what kind of car he drove and where he parked. There was nothing hid there, I suppose I wasn't a risk then to him and he knew it gave me so comfort to know those things. now days they dont share that kind of stuff with patients. looking back at the days with that T I felt cared for and received the strength I needed to heal.

Both my ex-T and my current T are inside of a medical office building. You check in and wait just like you would waiting to see any other dr. I'm seeing another T on Thursday for my ED at an ED clinic. From the other offices I've been to inside there already, I'm hoping it'll be just as comfy as the others.

My T is based on a hospital site and her office is there, she is a clinical psychologist.

I see mine in an office he shares with another T, with a common waiting room. No receptionist. I like it because it's very professional. I think it would be awkward to go to a T's home ... too personal. But since I've never tried it, I might get used to it. But it's a professional r/s and I like the professionalism of a regular office in an office building. I like having other people nearby ... makes me feel safer. I would not want to see a T in an isolated location.

My first ts house was a terraced house and she had the spare room as her therapy room. Her house was ok but full of greens- one of my pet hates. It was strange going to her house

Yikes! That could be a confidentiality problem. The office I go to has thick enough walls, and they have a noise machine outside of each room and in the waiting room.

An office setting with other Ts and receptionist.. I think I would finding seeing a t in his/her home would make me feel very uncomfortable!

My T and his wife (also a T) share a two-office suite in a small office building. There's a tiny waiting area, but no staff. His office is pretty uninspired. Very utilitarian. Most of his clients are men and I assume that's what they prefer as opposed to curling up on a couch, which is what I would prefer if there was a couch.

That sounds like heaven.

In an office with a waiting room. She's in private practice. No staff. She lets 2 other t's use the office on the days she's not there.

I have seen all three of my t's in offices. Each manages her own business, but is part of a group of t's who share building and administration costs.

My T is a private practice one in an office building. Her office itself is in a suite with 2 other offices and her area is just a very small, no staff...just a waiting room and her office itself. It is very cozy and inviting, but very professional looking at the same time. A happy medium I think.

At school when I went to T, I went to my school's counseling center. There was a building with a large-ish waiting room, and each T had their own individual office, and there was a large group room as well.

My first therapist had her office in her home. It had a separate entrance hidden around the back, which made me feel unwelcome, like I was supposed to be embarrassed about being there. The office was decorated tastefully and expensively. But what I disliked most about it was that it made the therapist seem lazy. She wore lounge clothes, curled her feet up on her chair, hugged a big pillow and had her coffee while I was trying my hardest to get to the bottom of a life-destroying depression. It seemed inappropriate to me.

My current therapist has a modest, pleasant office in a lovely old building. No receptionist. Nice, big windows, very quiet - a very non-threatening place. The furniture is simple, a little old - nothing special. What I like best about it is that it seems to me a neutral space. He leaves home and goes there; I leave home and go there; it's where we meet, a separate place. It feels free of associations. That neutral, quiet atmosphere helps me speak freely.
