Welcome to Our Premier Suite for Mental Health and Adjunct Professionals

We invite you to explore joining us in our very special 10-office suite that has been carefully designed and constructed for the distinct needs of therapists (Psychologists, LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, Psychiatrists, etc.) and adjunct professionals (e,g, Nutritionists, Dieticians, CADACs, college-bound consultants, career counselors, mental health billing professionals, etc.).  We do want you to be informed about the quality of the building, our suite, our "catchment area", and hopefully your new office. We believe you will be very pleased when you discover how these all come together to stand out compared to the alternatives. Indeed, you will find lower and higher rental rates elsewhere, but you won't find this kind of quality for your budget. 

AVAILABILITY:  Presently, we have one 3/4-Time office that guarantees you a minimum of 30 hours per week and two  1/2-Time offices available, with each guaranteeing you a minimum of 20 hours per week. Your lease can begin at your earliest convenience.  To avoid any confusion, we do not rent space by the hour or for less than 1/2-time.

THE BUILDING:  Our suite is located in a prestigious, three-story, brick-faced building with a stunning architectural design. These well-kept premises have recently been upgraded, including new landscaping, a large main entrance lobby with rich wood features, and stylish restrooms. The benefits will extend far beyond your office walls to the lush property and newly renovated outdoor atrium courtyard with a soothing water feature and a peaceful seating area. Invitees can reach our suite’s third floor either by way of an elevator or two staircases. ADA specifications are met. Our building projects a sense of respectability to your practice and your clients. 

LOCATION: Location, as you know, is one of the most important factors for any successful client-centered business. Our building is centrally located in San Diego…just a short driving distance to La Jolla, Del Mar, Torrey Pines, Carmel Valley, Scripps Ranch, Cardiff, Rancho Santa Fe, etc.  Our building is situated at the gateway to Sorrento Mesa, one of the top tech capitals in the world with thousands of high-wage professionals working nearby. Our offices are immediately near much of the regional freeway network while.  We are also quite close to Highways 5 and 56. Within easy driving distance are beaches and ample shopping centers. We are located one exit away from the University Towne Center.  There is a Planet Fitness Gym across the street. Torrey Pines Golf Courses are an easy drive from the office.  A golf driving range is just blocks away at the Sorrento Canyon Golf Center. Nearby are the Los Penasquitos Lagoon and Waterfowl Refuge and the Lopez Canyon Open Space. Also located two blocks away is the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Station.  

THE SUITE, YOUR OFFICE:  Many observers refer to our prominent, top-floor, West facing space as the Building’s “Presidential Suite”.  Compare this Suite with other therapy offices that are either located in cheaply constructed “Executive Suites” filled with various and sundry unrelated businesses or they are found in suites that were already built with sub-standard or minimal soundproofing. Many have small offices hidden away at the end of narrow corridors. In contrast, our roomy main interior hallways are wide (see above and below). Many other buildings have a design that "traps" several offices in the interior with no windows or small exterior rooms with minimal windows. Our proudly configured Suite was specifically designed and constructed “from the ground up” as an ideal work environment for therapists. The structure of our Building is based on an open oval axis around the outdoor atrium. This allows both the “inner” and “outer” offices to have expansive windows. The “interior” offices face the courtyard providing natural light. The “exterior” offices are afforded long panoramic views to the South and West with some dramatic sunsets! Out of these wide windows, we have long views across the valley of unique steep bluffs and hillsides. All interior lighting in the suite comes from “warm” overhead LEDs. Dimmer switches in every room allows you to conveniently control the brightness of your office lights to your liking.

THE WAITING ROOM: This room is very large, contemporary, and comfortable with tasteful, eclectic, commercial-free music. The ceiling has an artfully recessed two-toned soffit with aimed warm LED spotlights for art on the walls. This fully appointed and stylishly decorated room conveys a successful, yet warm first impression to your invitees. Each therapist’s name is listed on the waiting room’s porcelain “Tenant Directory” where we have employed the visitor arrival “lighting system”...common in mental health offices.  Hence, privacy is enhanced as clients need not announce their name when arriving in the waiting room. Instead, they simply flip on a light switch next to your name on the Therapist Directory which turns on two lights at opposite ends of your office to let you know they have arrived.  

SOUNDPROOFING: Privacy is an important value to all therapists and their clients. Great effort and a significant amount of money ($70,000) were expended on extensive soundproofing that has been customized with sophisticated technology. Included in this soundproofing are: thick sound-inhibiting insulation over the ceilings, expensive “sound walls” meshed between each office wall, self-lowering “sweep bars” under each office’s solid core door, three “white sound machines” in the inner halls, extra sound-deadening modifications are added where office walls connect to the windows’ metal “mullions”, and our waiting room has no shared walls with any of the therapy offices. Each office is offered the use of a “white sound” device.  Just ask.

THE BREAK ROOM:  The Break Room has a refrigerator with filtered water and an ice-maker.  Additionally, we have a microwave oven, a Keurig single-cup coffeemaker, and a Nespresso machine. The plumbing for the sink runs hot and cold water and includes a garbage disposal. 

PARKING: Free on-site parking just steps away from the building entrance. Cover parking is also available at no charge.

SECONDARY EXIT:  For extra privacy, clients may bypass the waiting room as they exit out our secondary exit. Many tenants use this route as well as their path to the bathrooms or for entering and exiting for the day.

THE PEOPLE AND THE ATMOSPHERE:   One of the most important features in a successful and satisfying private practice are the people who share the office space where you work. The style and personality characteristics that all of our suitemates hope to discover in new people joining us include: flexibility, honesty, openness, ethical, articulate communicators, and an adaptable ability to get along with others. We all strive to cooperate and create a comfortable, successful, professional atmosphere that will enhance the continued growth of everyone’s practice… including yours.  

THE CLIENTELE "CATCHMENT AREA":   Let’s start with the demographics of Sorrento Mesa itself. This 12-square-mile area is highly desired among many nationally recognized businesses.  As a result, Sorrento Mesa is home to the corporate headquarters of numerous recognized companies. The area is also home to many other branch locations of medium to large companies 

This clientele catchment area is populated by a well-educated, highly paid workforce with a particular concentration of businesses in the fields of telecommunications, wireless applications, scientific biotechnology research (aided by the close proximity to UCSD), and companies that are deeply involved in environmental protection interests. 77% of the population in Sorrento Mesa have college degrees and 34% have graduate or professional degrees. 

As you know, the income for people working in this area is significantly higher for our neighboring catchment “feeder communities” just West and North of us in San Diego County’s most affluent communities (La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, etc.). Simply stated, most of us have found that the higher socioeconomic status of our surrounding “catchment areas” has helped generate excellent numbers of affluent clientele who can afford the rates of professional private practitioners. Fair or unfair, it is common for folks who come from affluent communities to pre-judge their prospective therapist by the quality of the building, the suite, and the office they practice in.  We have stepped up to the plate to project such quality…just in case you have clients who may be influenced by such imagery.

One more important factor we invite you to mull over:   If you are making your office choice based on financial practicality...please consider the following.  Just ONE new client choosing to work with you based on their judgments of you along with this incredible setting can result in you easily affording the difference between this highly upscale suite compared to less desirable and less functional space. 

EATERIES AND OTHER CONVENIENCES NEARBY: Our building is across the street from Sorrento Court, a 53,500-square-foot retail center that includes numerous restaurants.  Just two blocks North of us is Karl Strauss Brewery and Restaurant, an excellent dining location that boasts a lush garden setting featuring a large koi pond and waterfall. Four blocks away is Gravity Heights, another wonderful indoor/outdoor restaurant.  New to our neighbor is California English owned by the famous chef, Richard Blais. It combines the vibe of the Golden State with the charisma of a modern English restaurant.
