Working in the mental health field can be very difficult, especially for those just getting started. Like their clients, therapists need a space to process, explore, and receive support. This group seeks to create a safe environment to support fellow therapists in our community, to discuss the challenges in our field, and to use these opportunities for growth. These opportunities may include: building confidence in your skills, practicing self-care, managing vicarious trauma, making the most of your supervision and other resources, acclimating to your role as a mental health practitioner, and developing a professional network for referrals.

Goals for this group include:
o Gain tools for managing stress and overwhelm with your practice
o Develop self-care tools
o Process countertransference issues
o Managing vicarious trauma
o Share developing private practice tips
o Learn and support each other with how to navigate challenges in your practice
o Networking and referral opportunities

Group rules:

  • No soliciting products or services
  • Please be on time. Anyone entering the meeting after 10:30 will not be let in
  • Please have your camera and microphone on when you join so we know your intentions in joining the group are to participate in a professional manner. If you don't turn on your camera in the first couple minutes, you will be removed.
  • Please do not be in bed or driving during the meeting
  • No private messaging others during the meeting
  • You must be a pre-licensed or licensed mental health professional and currently practicing in the mental health field to join this meeting
  • Please be respectful to others and keep confidentiality (don't bring up something personal someone says in this group in a future group or something personal someone said in a past group)

These rules are to maintain professionalism and a safe space for everyone to provide and receive support from other mental health providers. Thanks so much!
