About us
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.

Politics, Ethics, and Therapy: Sustaining Your Passion in a Divided World (CE)
·OnlineOnlineHow do you keep practicing, and keep caring, when the world outside the therapy room feels split down the middle? Few trainings address this head-on, and it can be a hard thing to talk about anywhere. This session makes room for that conversation, with space to actually talk, not just listen.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how psychological rigidity affects ethical decision-making and conflict
- Learn to distinguish between conflict avoidance and constructive engagement
- Apply The And Way model blending parts work, assertive communication, and dialectics
- Develop tools to counter dehumanization by fostering empathy, curiosity, and psychological flexibility
What We'll Explore
- Why politics and ethics are showing up in the therapy room more than ever, and how to hold it
- Psychological flexibility as a skill for practitioners, not just clients
- Sustaining your passion for the work when the surrounding climate is heavy
- Open dialogue: bring your questions and your own experience
