The Holding Space is an in-person therapy group designed specifically for therapists and other mental health professionals seeking a space for authentic connection, emotional support, and personal growth. While therapists spend much of their lives holding space for others, this group offers an opportunity to step out of the professional role and receive support without the pressure of being “the therapist” in the room.

The group focuses less on psychoeducation or skills training and more on the personal application of insight, emotional processing, relational dynamics, and shared human experience. Members are encouraged to explore the challenges of life, relationships, identity, burnout, boundaries, attachment, grief, self-worth, and the emotional realities that often accompany caregiving professions.

Being in a therapists-only group creates a unique sense of safety and understanding. Participants are surrounded by others who are familiar with therapeutic language, process-oriented work, and the emotional demands of client care. This shared foundation allows the group to move more deeply and organically into meaningful interpersonal work without needing to spend significant time on basic psychoeducation or skill-building concepts.

Limiting the group to mental health professionals also helps reduce the likelihood of dual relationships or unexpectedly sharing space with current or former clients. Participants may hold any mental health-related licensure, certification, or graduate-level training background, but should self-identify as working within a mental health or client-care role.

This group is intended to be a supportive and reflective environment where therapists can reconnect with themselves and others in a more human, mutual, and emotionally honest way.
