I have not, but I have had psychiatrists and massage therapists and other therapists as members in my space.
Another consideration to keep in mind, as with other professionals, is that this group has ethical obligations as well as contractual ones (for malpractice insurance for example) regarding privacy and patient records. Accessibility issues -- both physical and in terms of the atmosphere in the space itself -- are also key, as this group often works with a vulnerable population. Reserving a private space ahead of time for meetings is a fairly common circumstance for coworking spaces and not likely to have any unique features other than the privacy related ones, or such was my experience. Happy to talk about our experience, can you say a little more about what questions you have?
