Real Estate Made Easier for Mental Health Professionals Starting Their Own Practice

U.S. studies show that the percentage of adults, particularly young adults, who suffer from anxiety and depression is rising at a significant pace. This has resulted in an uptick in business for mental health providers throughout the nation. To capture a larger share of the revenue from the increased business, many providers are leaving larger practices to plant their own flag and start their own practices. To manage overhead, these solopreneurs are forced to be creative when it comes to finding real estate for their new practices. They are looking for affordability, flexibility, and (most of all) a comfortable and convenient setting for their patients.

Finding office space to meet those needs without signing a burdensome, long-term lease or joining a large, loud coworking facility has been a challenge. But, for providers in the DMV, there has been a beacon in this search who recognized the demand and is supplying a unique solution. Enter Office Evolution Arlington-Rosslyn.

Office Evolution, prominently located on Wilson Boulevard in Arlington-Rosslyn, is a boutique business center renting affordable and flexible office space to small business owners. It specializes in real estate solutions for mental health therapists by providing a uniquely private, quiet, and secure experience for visiting patients. For the solopreneurs, there is no security deposit required, and the terms are customized to meet each business owners’ individual needs and means. The unique build out and model was the vision of the owner, Trey Hardin – a retired political operative who wanted to give back to a community that is near and dear to his heart. Hardin worked in the political arena in the region for over thirty years and was in search of a new entrepreneurial opportunity that could benefit the mental health community, and specifically the professionals who provide such badly needed care.

“Going into business for yourself is a daunting decision and I wanted to build something that could facilitate that journey for a profession that I believe is underappreciated in our society”, Hardin said. “My vision was to minimize the real estate burden for mental health providers and create an experience, and not merely a transaction for them.”

At Office Evolution, mental health professionals are provided with a private, furnished, secure and sound-proofed office in a class A commercial building. The reception area and staff engagement are ensured to make their patients feel safe and comfortable upon arrival and departure. “The relationship between provider and patient is sacred”, said Hardin. “Therefore, it was critical to build an environment that fosters trust and confidentiality and is conveniently designed for the end goal of care. We built out a facility and tailored it to match up with the therapeutic dynamics.”

Office Evolution Arlington-Rosslyn is currently home to many therapists who represent many different areas of care – creating a collaborative environment that promotes referral opportunities between providers. Each therapist has seen their business flourish at Office Evolution with a significant increase in appointments and, in turn, their bottom-line.
