As a clinical social worker for thirty-five years, Hey, Hot Shot! contender Jane Alt is familiar with the inside of the psychiatrist's office. In her series, The Treatment Room, she brings her camera into the usually off-grounds office, and captures images of patients, environment, and the doctors, all anonymously. Through her images, Alt hints at the body emotions of conflict, focus, resolution, and anxiety in a space that offers both comfort and frustration.

In her statement, she writes,

The Psychiatrist's office is an intimate place with a mystique of its own. ... I explore these spaces and their meaning with my camera. The office, as a site for many dramas, functions as an empty stage waiting for its players. Behind closed doors I release the shutter, providing visual access to a world veiled in privacy.

In a recent NY Times slideshow, psychoanalyst Mark Gerald brought his camera into the offices of others in the same profession all around the city. In contrast to Alt's project, he chooses to reveal his subjects in their settings, focusing on the psychoanalysts themselves, inspired by both the offices similarities and differences.
