You seem to be clearly in touch with what is going on. Changes are so hard, and when you have no control they are even harder. Your analogy to parents moving to a place a child doesn't want to go seems right on.
I hate cities, too. My sister lives in NYC and I won't even go to visit her - too much claustrophobia, noise, dirt, people. The question will be, once you get to his office, can you settle down and feel safe and comfortable? You'll need to find a way to leave the city anxiety behind for your session. I would also need a winddown strategy before facing the traffic home (is there an ice cream store nearby??)
He sounds (as usual) wonderful about trying to make this easier for you. I think he is a gem.
That all said, I think a bit of a temper tantrum is quite reasonable.
