I can see where the move plus the personal space could be an unsettling issue. I hope you talk to her about it; she may really appreciate the feedback not only for you but for her other patients as well.
I can see the down sides, but it might also be a nice thing to walk through her home, knowing you are getting a "real" and whole person attending to your needs.
I am SO sensitive to my surroundings. I need my space to be protected, and I've had to talk to my T numerous times about this. One problem is a public waiting room; he's by himself, so I know they are his other clients. I hate that. There is the inevitable and awkward "hello" and "excuse me" exchanges that make me cringe. I don't want to see these other patients let alone talk to them. So, my T has staggered my times so that there is a 15 minute space ensuring I come into his office without passing anyone else. Maybe your T can do something to accomodate your needs.
