In a way, working in the kid-style office was good. It really tested how much I was willing to let outside distractions interfere with what I was doing. In the end, I didn't let it get to me. =) Sure, it was a little sticky-sweet for my taste, but I wasn't there for the decor. I was there for therapy, and while it was a challenge to not let the setting distract me, it was a good challenge. You are right in saying that most likely our concerns and issues are different, so others might be more affected by office decor than I....
Fortunately, I did get a chance to comment on the new decor. My ex-T did remark that she liked it a lot better, too. she got the most feedback from some of the male clients; they had remarked by re-docration made the room less "girly" =)
My aunt is a retired clinical psychologist. I was the office manager for her practice many years ago. I guess that's where I would see things from the therapist's point of view in terms of having to spend hours in one room vs. the clients having to spend 1-2 hours a week...it did give me a lot of perspective..
