The workspace of 27 YEAR OLD COUNSELOR GAIL SHABAT was designed in a serene pastel blue and white interior. She had done research back when she'd been an undergrad, on how different colors effected the mood. She wanted people to feel SAFE AND SECURE when they were within her office. She had spent time both in and out of class studying her interests in psychology through various topics. Gail wanted to have a MORE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING of individual people.
During the day, the space was bathed in soft, natural light that filtered through sheer, flowing curtains. The walls were adorned with abstract art in SOOTHING TONES that complemented the plush white carpet. There was a sleek, modern desk in light wood tones that sat in the corner, while in the center of the room there was a small round table that was accessorized with pot of fresh flowers. The focal point was a COMFORTABLE blue sofa which doubled as a pull-out bed as well, which matched with a set of blue armchairs that were arranged in a semi-circle. It had been another intentional choice by Gail, as she wanted to create an environment that would invite SECURITY and open conversation.
The therapist's chair, in a matching blue hue, was positioned in a fashion meant to offer EMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING. A floor-to-ceiling bookcase filled with psychology and philosophy texts and a few personal knick-knacks added further depth to the space, while another potted plant resting in the corner of the room added a touch of nature indoors.
The table between the seating area held a tissue box and a few strategically placed decorative items, as well as stimulating items like a ROBIK'S CUBE, along with small puzzles and even silly putty. The overall ambiance was one of CALM SOPHISTICATION, and it blended contemporary style with a sense of familiarity. No matter WHERE her clients might have been coming from.
It was winding down to the end of her workday, the sun had just about set entirely, but Gail wasn't going to be going home for a few hours. She had been dealing with a more DIFFICULT week, and as a result she had felt as though she had been neglecting some of her finer notes on a couple of her clients.
She was one of maybe three people still in the offices within the Synagogue that she worked, including the janitor. Everything SEEMED quiet, the only sound in her office being the piano music that was playing softly from the radio.
