Hi Mel. I totally hear you on this issue. When I was looking for Ts I found myself hugely affected by their offices. There was one T who was really not at all a good fit, who I actually considered working with anyway because I loved his office so much. Another T I rather liked, but his office was a disaster and there was no way I could do therapy there. Probably the best of the lot had an office that looked like a rent-an-office, and I just couldn't choose him. I'm happy with my current T, who has a comfortable office. But sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't have gone with rent-an-office guy, who might have bit a bit more personally, if not environmentally, warm. But then, what about how cold his office felt?
I think it's OK that these things matter to some of us. It's like people who can't stand to wear clothes that are at all scratchy (like me). If it bothers you, then it bothers you. It's a valid part of your experience.
I'm really sorry that your T wasn't able to move to an office that felt more like her style, and better for you. :(
