Here's a look at how a therapist set up his daily schedule and his home office so he can conduct private, sensitive meetings with patients while also raising a young daughter

"We don't have to be out of the house so quickly, so that is one reason," Loewen told Business Insider. "We've encouraged her to think about what she wants to eat and what she can make because we can."Loewen eats breakfast with Zoe.Since Loewen's meetings include client confidentiality, he goes over his schedule with Zoe to let her know when his room is off-limits.
Loewen pulls his desk set up from the wall each morning at about 9 a.m. He has a stand with an extra light where he secures his cell phone during sessions. "If I see a client, generally, I'm not going through what the client is going through. So I can help somebody with depression and not have depression," Loewen told Business Insider.
