This is part 2 of the results of a July 2010 survey of therapists regarding office space subleasing. This post examines issues of deciding which practice to affiliate with.
Therapists have a choice of where they want to rent space. Some factors cited in influencing their decision about where to rent space include:
- Location -- interstate access; the part of town the office is located in, etc. -- 15%
- Rental cost -- 15%
- The therapists you would be working with -- 14%
- The "general feel" of the arrangement/office -- 13%
- Site accessibility (i.e., handicapped accessible) -- 10%
- Layout of office -- 9%
- Security -- 6%
- Amenities available -- 5%
- Reception area -- 4%
- Marketing availability -- 3%
- Availability of administrative support -- 3%
- Availability of billing services/support -- 3%
Most therapists choose to affiliate with other mental health practitioners. However, in addition to renting from other mental health therapists, a few therapists rented space from other types of practitioners, including a psychiatrist and a doctor's group.
The next post in the series examines how referrals and emergency coverage is handled when subleasing space.
