For Graduate Students & Emerging Therapists

Being a therapist is an amazing experience, AND it can also be draining and exhausting. I remember being in graduate school and having days where I was so thankful to be working towards being a therapist. I also had other days where I was studying with tears of frustration in my eyes. It’s such a whirlwind being a therapist.

I’ve created this group because, I’m sure like me, you’ve experienced the highs-and-lows of being a therapist. This 12-week group is a supportive, reflective space designed specifically for graduate students and emerging clinicians to explore what it really means to grow into the role of “therapist.” It’s a space to learn and process. And a place where you can feel seen and heard.

Together, we’ll go through a variety of topics, targeted to help your journey of being a therapist.

What to Expect

Over 12 weeks, you’ll join a small group of peers via a platform called Simple Practice. This space is an opportunity to experience personal reflection and professional development.

Each week focuses on a theme that supports both your personal growth and your clinical confidence:

  1. Introduction & Overview

  2. Therapist Identity & Imposter Syndrome

  3. Emotional Regulation & Self-Awareness

  4. Boundaries & Burnout Prevention

  5. Transference & Countertransference

  6. Supervision & Feedback Resilience

  7. Perfectionism & Shame

  8. Working with Difficult Clients

  9. Values, Ethics, and Authenticity

  10. Self-Compassion & Therapist Self-Care

  11. Grief, Empathy Fatigue, and Letting Go

  12. Reflection & Closure

You’ll Learn To:

  • Build confidence as a developing clinician

  • Manage stress and emotional triggers that arise in sessions

  • Strengthen boundaries and prevent burnout

  • Integrate feedback and supervision without shame

  • Feel more authentic and grounded in your role as a therapist
