Therapy Office Exchange · Bay Area pilot

Find—or fill—the office days that make in-person practice workable.

Start with the actual unit of fit: place × weekday × time window × recurring cost. Submit privately; nothing becomes a public listing without review and fresh consent.

Validation status

This pilot is open, but liquidity has not yet been demonstrated. There is no public inventory count, searchable directory, or claim that a match exists. The published thresholds below decide whether that changes.

Begin with the decision you have today

Are you trying to use a room—or fill an unused day?

A room can exist and still be a bad match. This pilot looks for overlap in the details that determine whether two therapists should spend time on an introduction.

A marketplace test, not an empty directory

We match the cell before we build the marketplace.

The first useful question

Does an available recurring day overlap with a therapist’s real geography, schedule, budget, and must-have requirements?

Structured private submission

Give us the facts that decide fit.

I need office space.

Describe the smallest workable office-day configuration. Required versus preferred details make near-matches more useful.

1 · Place and office days
Weekdays needed or available
Time windows
2 · Cost and timing
3 · What makes a room workable?
4 · Private contact and consent

Do not include client names, client schedules, clinical information, license documents, lease files, payment information, or an exact street address. Pilot records are reviewed by a person and are not published automatically.

Your private match cell

Choose a city, weekday, and time window to define the first search cell.

Privacy and participation

Know what a match does—and what it does not verify.

Fit and freshness outrank money.

No paid placement, bidding, sponsored ranking, or payment changes who appears to be a match.

Consent precedes contact.

No personal email, phone number, exact address, or identity is published. Separate seven-day links record one decision each; introductions require both sides.

“Submitted” is not “verified.”

We do not claim ownership, lease permission, licensure, accessibility, legality, insurance, or clinical suitability.

Not collected in this pilot

  • Client names or clinical information
  • Client appointment schedules
  • License or identity documents
  • Lease uploads
  • Payment-card or banking details
  • Public personal contact information
  • Ratings of clinicians or landlords
  • Automatic public listings

Change, close, or remove your record: use the site contact form or reply to a pilot email. The working review window is 90 days; continued matching requires fresh confirmation. De-identified aggregate cell counts may remain after the individual record is removed.

The build/no-build checkpoint

Activity is not liquidity.

The pilot earns a searchable marketplace only if supply and demand repeatedly overlap in concentrated geography × weekday cells and the records can stay current.

Thresholds are decision rules, not forecasts. Aggregate reporting will suppress small cells and will not expose individual records.

Source notes

Use the citations and any dated evidence records to check the claims relevant to your task. This label is not a verification status.

You should not have to work this part out on your own.

Once a month: free tools and apps worth having, better ways to run the admin side of a practice, what other California therapists are actually doing, and anything new here that might save you an afternoon.

About monthly. One click to leave. Never sold, never shared. The consent box is separate and unticked because California requires it — and because it should be.
