I walk right by her first floor office windows so I assume she can see me, or maybe hear me. The bad part is that I think a patient in the room would be able to see me also, depending on where she was sitting - I don't like that at all, and try to avoid that by getting there at the last minute.
I, too, would hate the door bell. Once with my psychiatrist, I waited for a really long time and then I knocked on her door. I was mortified because she was seeing someone else, and it turned out I had gotten the time mixed up, and had actually missed my appointment. It took me forever to get over that, particularly since my pdoc is not the warm and fuzzy type.
It's also a little traumatizing when I drive up and my T's car is not in the parking lot. I instantly think I've gotten the time wrong, but it's always been that it was getting serviced or something entirely innocent like that.
On occasion, generally when I've been late, my therapist has left her door ajar just so I know I can come in right away.
I really like the confessional light alternative best.
