Carr Workplaces Westchester in Harrison, New York, has become an increasingly popular location for therapists and other mental health professionals to work from for a multitude of reasons.
As a mental health therapist, you look for and require specific features when considering a new office space for your practice.

To meet the needs of the therapists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals in the Westchester area, Kate and her team also have created designated therapy rooms. These therapy rooms may be leased by the hour, day, week, month, or longer.
“We have about seven vacant private offices that we’ve turned into therapy rooms,” said Kate. “These are rooms with couches, comfy chairs, soft lighting, noise machines, do not disturb signs, and nice pictures on the wall for local therapists to come and use as needed with clients.”

Carr Workplaces Westchester: A Vibrant Community
“It’s become quite a family here,” Kate shared. “Most of the clients here are the decision-makers in their businesses and are the ones handing me a check monthly, not some impersonal billing office in another city.
“Most of the people working from here want to have that personal connection. We have such a good group of people here with us.”
Kate noted that while some people working from Carr Workplaces Westchester are seeking that community aspect, every professional is different and is welcome to choose how much or how little they want to participate in the community without pressure.
