WHY ETHERA

Strengthening
Private Practice, Together

As technology consumes the world and our healthcare system struggles with affordability, the commoditization of mental healthcare providers is being disguised as innovation to subsidize a broken system. At Ethera, we:

  • are against a future where client referrals are monopolized by "tech" and insurance companies.
  • do not want providers to become "gig" workers who feel they must accept lower rates.

Ethera is reimagining what is possible with private practice. Together, we:

  • are a collaborative community on a mission to enhance the mental healthcare experience and empower mental healthcare providers in their private practice journeys.
  • create tools and resources necessary for individual private practitioners to be successful, which in turn leads to better care for the clients.

Therapy Offices Done Right

  • Private practice your way.

Get the best of all worlds at a fraction of the cost with a variety of room types, including standard psychotherapy, play therapy, art therapy, group therapy, and a members-only co-working lounge designed for both quiet work and collaboration.

  • Privacy and safety first.

Separate entrance and exit for both clients and providers. Each space is acoustically engineered and treated to ensure free conversation without being overheard.

  • Frictionless technology.

Digital nameplates, keyless entry via mobile app, client check-in via kiosk or mobile app, high-speed secure internet with separate Wi-Fi network for clients and guests.

TESTIMONIALS

Providers Love Us

The Ethera office is beautiful in design and excellent in technology. I love how the doors are secure and can be unlocked with the phone app. Booking rooms is easy, the kiosk in the waiting room simplifies check in and I love being able to rent the rooms as needed instead of having an office lease.

Christine Luu

LCSW

Ethera is a warm, comforting space for clinicians and clients alike. As a psychiatrist navigating these uncertain pandemic times, Ethera has offered a great deal of flexibility, which is perfect for the changing needs of myself and my patients. I have also enjoyed being a part of the growing community of providers, which is a wonderful source of ongoing connection.

Dr. Monisha Vasa, MD

Psychiatrist

Ethera is a heaven sent in these uncertain times. The space is stunning! Jennifer and her team thought of absolutely everything! Most importantly, the space is designed for maximum privacy, thus making our clients feel safe. 

Claudia Sophia Hernandez

The Love Courses

I’ve really appreciated the flexibility of being able to schedule exactly how much time I need and not have to be paying for a room when I’m not using it. It’s been really easy to grow and scale up and also affordable when I was only seeing 1 or 2  clients a week.

Ella Spicer

LMFT

Ethera’s model has allowed me the flexibility that I haven’t been able to find elsewhere as a part-time practitioner.  The therapy rooms are exceptionally designed and meet the varied needs of a diverse practice (testing, play therapy, psychotherapy), the shared space is beautiful and spacious, and the scheduling has been quite easy to manage.

Dr. Nicole Murillo, PhD

Psychologist

Ethera has truly been the most incredible space to grow my private practice. It is amazing to have not only myself, but the associates in my practice, have a space to be wholly supported professionally and personally. Ethera is truly a family of therapists working together to support our community, and I am so grateful to be a part of this collaborative space.

Dr. Sahar Martinez, PsyD

LMFT

Being able to bring my clients into such a welcoming and beautifully created space has been amazing. Ethera has the best vibe and the best people working here.

Vanessa Trine

I didn’t know how and where to start my private practice until I found Ethera! It not only made starting my practice easy but also gave me a community of awesome therapists. I am so glad that Ethera is here to support therapists in private practice.

Emily Yang

LMFT

Ethera has been a supportive, professional and collaborative community. I would recommend Ethera to any clinician looking for a beautiful space with opportunities for consultation.

Sam Wasfi

LMFT

Being an Ethera member means that I can work in private practice alone but still have wonderful colleagues to consult cases with and refer patients to. I joined Ethera during the pandemic, a time where we were all figuring it out as we go, and I felt very supported. The Ethera founders have built an amazing environment for us and our patients!

Paula Muro

LPCC

I love Ethera because of the subtle details: the calming neutral decor, the music, the artfully and plannfully- placed white noise machines for privacy. My patients love it here. I do, too.

Dr. Rachel O'Desky, PsyD

Psychologist

Ethera has helped me grow my private practice in an affordable way, but more than that, has become a supportive community in the process. I am so glad that I found Ethera and I have made some wonderful connections in this warm environment.
