A professional community for Washington-based mental health providers.
We host a mix of interactive talks, peer support circles, and hands-on workshops –spaces where therapists share insight, exchange referrals, and strengthen their practices together. Topics range from the business of private practice to the human side of clinical work. Whether you’re just starting out or well established, you’ll find opportunities to learn, connect, and be supported by peers who understand the field.
This group is connected with the Washington Mental Health Resource network, a long-running referral and discussion listserv for local clinicians. The listserv is open to all WA-licensed or pre-licensed professionals.

Somatic Workshop: 8 Tools for Nervous System Regulation
·En líneaEn líneaFacilitated by Kelsey Wynman
These are tools you can use next week. In this one-hour workshop, we'll work through eight body-based techniques for nervous system regulation and trauma processing. Grounded in somatic and polyvagal theory, and simple enough to bring into most sessions right away.
As always, we'll begin with exchanging referral information. Then, we'll move through each technique together: brief teaching, then practice. By the end, you'll have done all eight, not just heard about them. We'll also spend real time discussing how you bring somatic work into sessions without overstepping your training or your clients' consent.
We'll cover:
- Vestibular techniques for emotional regulation (rocking, gentle movement)
- Eye-based interventions to shift autonomic states
- Vocalization and sound for vagal regulation and release
- Self-holding and deep pressure to create a felt sense of safety
- Bilateral stimulation for integration
- Completing the stress response cycle
- Breathwork variations for rapid nervous system shifts
- Temperature-based interventions to regulate activation and shutdown
We'll walk away with:
- A downloadable guide of all eight techniques
- Enough practice that you actually remember how to do them
- A clearer read on when to reach for these tools, and when not to
