Is Your Office Supporting You — or Just Draining You?

 

Turning your unused therapy space into aligned income.

The Therapy Office Love/Hate Dilemma

 

As a coach, therapist, and business owner, I’ve had countless conversations with helping professionals who feel stuck in a love/hate relationship with their office space.

 

They love the cozy vibe. The calm lighting. The way it feels to settle into a chair and hold space for others.

 

But what they don’t love?

 

The fact that it sits empty 3–5 days a week while they keep paying full rent.

 

If that sounds familiar — you are definitely not alone.

The Quiet Cost of Empty Office Days

 

Let’s be honest for a moment. If your office rent is $1,000/month and you’re only using it 3 days a week, that means over half your paid time goes unused.

 

That’s $500+/month — or $6,000/year — for space that isn’t working for you.

 

And yet… many private practice therapists and coaches feel stuck:

  • Posting in random Facebook groups

  • Trying to manage informal space-sharing

  • Coordinating keys, calendars, and no-shows

  • And often, giving up altogether

 

It doesn’t have to be this way.

You Deserve a Better System

 

Part of my coaching work is helping therapists and wellness professionals build businesses that feel sustainable, easeful, and aligned with their values.

 

That includes how we manage our space.

 

That’s why I created The Therapist Space Directory — a searchable, therapist-centered platform where you can:

  • List your unused office space (by the hour, day, week, or month)

  • Connect with other licensed professionals actively searching

  • Earn supplemental income without adding to your caseload

  • All in one place — without the Facebook chaos

 

This platform was created by a therapist, for therapists and coaches.

This Isn’t Just for Big Groups

 

Even if you’re a solo practitioner with just one room, you can still benefit.

 

Here’s how:

  • That open Friday? $100–$200/month.

  • Those weekends off? Passive income.

  • That after-hours gap? A flexible rental opportunity for a newer clinician.

 

You’re already paying for the space. Why not let it support you?

Let Your Space Reflect Your Values

 

One thing I teach often in coaching is this:

Your resources should reflect your values.

And that includes the space where you do your deepest work.

 

Your therapy office or wellness room should be:

  • Working for you (not just draining you)

  • Aligned with your income goals and lifestyle

  • A tool that fits into your sustainable business ecosystem

 

This isn’t about hustling harder — it’s about getting smart with what you already have.

Let It Support Someone Else, Too

 

That unused space? It’s not just a missed income opportunity — it’s a missed connection opportunity.

 

Your room could be:

  • Supporting a new clinician who’s not ready for a full lease

  • Helping a hybrid or traveling therapist find flexible hours

  • Giving another wellness provider a safe space to grow

 

We’re building something that’s rooted in mutual support, not competition.

Here’s How to Start

 

You can list your space on The Therapist Space Directory in less than 10 minutes.

 

All you need to do is:

  1. Upload a few photos

  2. Share your availability and pricing

  3. Set your terms

  4. Hit publish — and connect with professionals who are already searching

Stop Overfunctioning to Earn More

 

Here’s the heart of it:

 

You don’t have to take more clients.

You don’t have to burn out.

You don’t need to “push harder” to make your practice sustainable.

 

Sometimes, earning more is simply about using what you already have — differently.

Let’s Make Your Space Work for You

 

If you’ve been feeling that tension — loving your office but hating the drain — this is your invitation to shift the story.

 

Let your space support your life. Your values. Your ease.
