For in person office rentals that are available for block rentals vary in size and prices range from $30-$35 a block. We have broken up the blocks into 6 hour windows (8:00am-2:00pm and 2:30pm-8:30pm) allowing you plenty of time to see a few clients and have some wiggle room in-between sessions.
The block rentals are great for those who have a small private practice, do not want to or don’t have the ability to do a 24-hour rental. Maybe you work full time Monday-Friday and don’t want to work weekends so to accommodate your private practice case load, you see individuals on Wednesday and Thursday evenings using the 2:30pm-8:30pm block. Or maybe you are just starting out in private practice and you don’t have any clients yet. Our block rentals are a great space to start out in order to immerse yourself in and network with a supportive, like-minded community.
The 24-hour rentals are great for those who work part time elsewhere and have a spare day to see clients, or maybe you just want more flexibility throughout the day when scheduling clients. These offices also vary in size, all having enough space for individual and couples’ therapy and some large enough to accommodate families and group treatment. These offices range from $50-$80 a day with discounts provided the more days you rent.
We have had several clinicians start their private practices in b.mindful Louisville and the flexibility of our leases has greatly cut startup costs for our tenants and allowed them to have full autonomy of how much time they want to spend in the office.

For example, one of our tenants used the 1st month to logistically set up and start marketing her practice before having any clients. She expressed it to be extremely helpful for her to have a space outside her house that she could go to clear her mind, knock out her to do list and have other clinicians around to bounce ideas off of. After a lot of time and effort put into the backend of her practice, she got her first few clients! After some more hard work, her case load out grew her 6 hour block rental so she decided to start a new lease and do a 24 hour rental to accommodate her growing practice.
Here at b.mindful Louisville, we understand that a majority of you in private practice are in it because you love being an entrepreneur, love the flexibility and the autonomy brought forward by working for yourself. Therefore, if the office space is available, we are always willing to start you a new lease in another office that better meets your growing practices needs.

Why A Quiet Office Space Is A Must For Social Workers In Private Practice
While interacting with people is a big part of a social worker’s job they still need some form of quiet space to complete their paperwork and make phone calls. What’s more, the area needs to be one where they can focus without any sort of distractions.
While interacting with people is a big part of a social worker’s job they still need some form of quiet space to complete their paperwork and make phone calls. The area needs to be one where they can focus without any sort of distractions.
Something that social workers tell us is that they need their own space where they cannot be distracted. This is to allow them to be able to get all their important paperwork done such as documents that need to be sent to the state government or insurance company. Believe it or not, but paperwork takes up a significant portion of a social worker’s workload. So when renting an office space, it is important to have a space that they can be left alone to do paperwork and be able to focus on their clients. Keep in mind, most social workers complete paperwork that is very important to peoples lives. So if they make a mistake, they could be facing a delay in services or support for the people they are working with. So a social worker needs to be able to concentrate and focus on what they are doing some say more than other professions. And the biggest distraction of all as reported by some is office noise.
Whenever we talk to social workers, it’s apparent that they need to focus on providing assistance and services to the people that they work with. The fact that clients build their assumptions about you based in-part on the office they meet you in is a sentiment we hear repeated over and over. And to accommodate this fact, they need an office that is warm and inviting. Why does it matter? Well, meeting clients who have been abused or have other mental and family issues, it’s extra important that the space they are meeting in is comforting and should be a place where people can feel safe. However, it’s important to remember that every office does not project the same type of feeling. When businesses like financial consultants or insurance companies are looking for a space, they may be looking for the standard office. They may expect a few offices and a table that is set up like a conference room. This setup is not ideal for social workers. Rather, their office needs to be inviting, even if it goes against what other businesses may be looking for.
If the office is noisy, this can cause colossal productivity problems. Even a small amount of noise can be disturbing. Auditory distractions can have a negative impact on anyone's productivity and quality work. Things like coworkers on the phone and even notifications from a cell phone can take attention away from the task at hand. So if a social worker is sharing an office, they each need to have their own separate working space. This way they do not distract each other with phone calls and noise. This may sound like a common-sense no-brainer piece of advice. However, we have heard lots of horror stories from social workers who have had to share workspace in an “open office” setup.
Studies have been conducted on focus, and it was found that the average worker has a concentration of 11 minutes due to interruptions. So if there is noise that is distracting, any focused work like paperwork can take even longer to complete. And social workers, some say more than most, need to make sure all of their documentation is accurate. And if they keep on getting distracted with distractions, it can have an impact on their client's lives and quality of work.
When a social worker is looking for a space to get some work done, it’s vitally important to have somewhere where they feel comfortable. This is in large part due to the mentally demanding type of work that they do. They need to have an office that is free of distractions so they can work in peace and focus on what their real goal is, helping people. b.mindful Louisville is specifically designed and set up for health and wellness businesses.

Modern, Quiet and Furnished Office Setting for Psychiatrists in Louisville, KY
If you have been looking for an office for your Psychiatric practice in Louisville, KY we are sure you know that not every space is created equally.
If you have been looking for an office for your Psychiatric (MD, DO or PSYCHNP) practice in Louisville, KY we are sure you know that not every space is created equally. And that is largely due to some of the huge costs involved in not only renting a space that is right for your patients but also furnishing it in a way that will make your patients feel calm and at home. In this post, we will go over the things we have heard from local psychiatrists & patients in Louisville, KY that make the difference for them when it comes to where they like to get treatment.
A Quiet Space
The space your patient interacts with you in can be as important as how you yourself interact with the patient. That means that a quiet office is paramount for patients to feel secure. Sometimes it’s easy to default to thinking of patient sessions as an energized talked. However, the evidence would say otherwise. It’s often the case that there are periods of long silence during sessions that are meant to provoke thought on the part of the patient. However, if your space is not quiet, this can be a huge challenge. Not only because your patient will feel weird being quiet in a loud space, but also because the noises can be distracting. And when a patient is distracted, it’s going to be difficult for them to really dig into their thoughts.
Nice Furnishings & Social Proof
You may find it odd that furnishings and a modern look have an effect on a patient, but these things hit the heart of what business experts have been talking about for years when they refer to “social proof”. What is social proof? It’s basically subconscious signals that indicate that you, the psychiatrist knows what they’re doing. Think of it this way. If you walked into a psychiatrist office and they barely had any furniture at all, you would think something is up. Alternatively, if you walked into a psychiatrist office and all of their furnishings are the nicest you have ever seen, you would think either consciously or subconsciously that this practitioner is at the top of their field. This example illustrates that there is a range of feelings a patient may experience purely based on the furnishings in your office. So you should do all you can to put this to work for you.
Final Thoughts
When either starting or growing your practice, you need to set everything possible to your advantage. This includes not only your style of interacting with your patients but the subtle queues your patients get from their surroundings. To make sure your patients are being set up for success by your surroundings, an office designed specifically for mental health and wellness practices is a great choice. You need a space designed for your exact needs and b.mindful Louisville is specifically designed and set up for health and wellness businesses.

Why Regus May Not Be The Best Solution For Your Louisville Health Practice
Finding the right office space when starting or moving your mental health or wellness practice is a big deal and can be stressful. However, this process can be easy if you know what issues to watch out for.
Finding the right office space when starting or moving your mental health or wellness practice is a big deal and can be stressful. However, this process can be easy if you know what issues to watch out for. If you are in the mental wellness and health fields, we are sure that you prefer your office to be your home away from home. And we know that you want your clients to feel the same way. Some common issues with renting space for mental health & wellness practitioners that we have heard first hand are problems with long-term leases, the Regus space not being set up for their particular type of business, weird furniture, and a lack of privacy for their clients.
While setting up your health and wellness practice in the Louisville Regus may seem like a no-brainer, it comes with a variety of hidden issues that could cause issues due to the nature of mental health businesses. Those issues include...
Do You Want Regus To Field Mental Health & Healthcare Phone Calls?
Sometimes when running a business that deals with health and mental crisis’, the reception or office admin team can be the “front line” when it comes to dealing with a client crisis. Unfortunately, due to the wide and varied type of tenants that Regus Louisville rents spaces to, there isn't a great chance that reception will know how to adequately handle these type of issues. To solve this you should look for a short-term office rental space in Louisville that is dedicated 100% to the mental health and wellness field. In addition to handling a crisis, you have to worry about regulations like HIPAA. According to the info we found on the Regus in Louisville, they do offer front-desk admin support often for a large extra fee. But even if you opt for this, there is no guarantee of client privacy or that the staff knows the appropriate regulations when dealing with inbound phone calls. This could lead to them breaching client privacy without them even knowing it happened, which could spell big trouble for you or your business.
Is It Private Enough?
The Regus in Louisville has hundreds of tenants. This is something you have to consider if you have clients coming to meet you there. Is their privacy going to be protected? That’s a difficult question to ask when you are dealing with other tenants that have businesses ranging from business consulting to real estate. The most common thing that mental and health professionals look for when it comes to privacy is a separate entrance and exits for clients. This is something that the Regus in Louisville doesn’t cater to and could be a huge negative for clients and customers who are considering becoming your client.
Ease Of Referrals
Often times when dealing with clients in the mental health and wellness field you need to refer them to another practitioner. This can sometimes cause discomfort or anxiety in clients that are used to meeting you in the same building week over week. For some, even the smallest notion of changing their routine can cause a huge stress in their life as they have to find the new office, find parking, and generally get comfortable with the new space. However, if the space you lease is dedicated to the mental health and wellness field there is a chance that you can refer within the same building your clients are already used to meeting you in.
Lease Requirements
According to some health professionals we interviewed who have used Regus within the last year, a lot of the benefits such as choosing a wide range of hours to see your clients are restricted to those who sign a 12-month contract. This may not be ideal for a few reasons. Firstly, because what if you or your clients dislike the space after using it for a few months? This can not only cause you discomfort professionally but could cause you to lose clients as well. Secondly, long-term commitments can be a huge strain on your business especially if you are just starting out or only need to use the space a few times per week. So you should look for a place that allows you to meet clients at any time they need, but that doesn't require something as long as a year-long contract to do so.
Is The Furniture & Architecture Right For Your Practice?
The Regus in Louisville caters to business that ranges from small business to attorneys, to CPAs. And as a result, the offices and decoration have a more “business” feel that you may not find in a smaller space dedicated to the health and wellness field. Depending on the type of health and wellness practice you run, the building could just not be accommodating to your type of business. Do you work with kids? Then you have to worry about the echo of the space, the hard concrete floors, and being disruptive to the other businesses in the space. A good solution would be finding a space that is dedicated and designed for mental health and wellness where all the other tenants are understanding and knowledgeable of what other practitioners go through. This means that the interior design will be catered with mental health and wellness professionals in mind, and provide a more calming environment and manner of decor.
To overcome these issues, a shared office space designed exclusively for mental health and wellness practices are an amazing option. You need a space designed for your exact needs. b.mindful Louisville provides a better alternative to Regus Louisville and is specifically designed and setup for health and wellness business.
