After leaving my practice in Michigan behind to set down roots in the Bay Area, it was challenging to find an office space that was affordable and flexible. I only practice therapy part-time, so renting an office on my own was not affordable, and sublets typically offered very limited (and often less desirable) days/hours of availability.
Sima Space has struck a new model that strikes the balance of affordability and flexibility. I have been able to build my practice up one client at a time without incurring an outrageous overhead while my caseload was small. As my practice has grown, I have benefited from the incremental discounts built into my contract, which incentivize using the office more hours each month. I have saved a lot of money in the months I've been at Sima Space.
Besides the rent-by-hour model, I have benefited greatly from having the option to see clients in any of the three locations they have in San Francisco (Nob Hill), Berkeley (Downtown), or Oakland (Pill Hill). I have enjoyed using the Berkeley office as my primary location, but have been able to build in a day of seeing clients in San Francisco when I'm there for other meetings anyway.
My personal experience working with Sima and Sayed has also been a delight. It is clear from talking to either of them that they truly care about creating an environment that supports therapists in their healing practices. They have been warm, responsive, and flexible throughout my time with them, which makes all the rest of the experience all the better. I would highly recommend Sima Space to therapists starting their practice, and to established therapists looking for a flexible part-time office environment. read more
