Also, a female counselor probably isn’t going to win a race to the fire extinguisher and they’re heavy/awkward enough that it’s going to be hard for them to maintain control of it in a fight with a larger dude. I would keep extinguishers where they need to be per code and maybe have one hidden behind the front desk if ther is one, but not in the office in the open.
One other thing you could do is a quick walk through and make sure they don’t have big metal lamps or anything that makes you say “I could easily bludgeon, stab etc. someone with that” . Any lighting should be mounted to a wall or in the ceiling. Stone sculptures are right out as well. If they want plants you can get decent enough looking plastic pots for that too. Nothing sharp enough to enter a human body or hard enough to break a skull should be loose and available on the rooms.
