Therapists Supporting Therapists

If you spend your days attuning, regulating, listening, witnessing, and holding what is tender, complex, and often heavy.

This gathering is for you.

Therapists Supporting Therapists is a facilitated space designed exclusively for therapists and clinical professionals to be held in community, without needing to explain, perform, or show up as “the professional.”

What this space offers

A nervous-system-aware, trauma-informed container.

Space for creativity, play, and lightness alongside depth.

Time to exhale, take the therapist hat off, and be in community.

Gentle reflection, grounding practices, and optional sharing.

Being seen, heard, and witnessed by peers who truly understand the work.

A reminder that you do not have to carry it all alone.

What we will explore

The impact of holding others’ stories and emotional labor, and how it lives in your body.

Reconnecting with your body as a place of grounding, support, and guidance.

Noticing and softening patterns of over-functioning, responsibility, and burnout.

Practicing receiving support, care, and presence, rather than only offering it.

Allowing space for creativity, expression, and moments of joy within the work.

Being with what arises, without needing to analyze, fix, or make meaning.

Be held in community, without needing to explain, perform, or show up as “the professional.”

Facilitator

Alissa is a licensed therapist and facilitator who integrates many modalities to support people in reconnecting with their inner wisdom and relationship to the natural world.

She creates spaces that are grounded, trauma-informed, and deeply relational, where people can slow down, listen inward, and feel supported in being fully human. Her approach honors the nervous system as a source of intelligence and the land as an active partner in healing.

She is especially passionate about creating spaces for therapists to be held, recognizing the quiet weight of the work and the need for places where those who support others can soften, receive, and be supported in community.

You're Invited to Pause

If you’re feeling the quiet weight of holding others and longing for a space where you can simply be, you are warmly invited. This is a space to step out of your role and be held, not just the one who holds. You don’t have to carry it all alone. If your body is asking for rest, connection, or something softer, we invite you to join us on the land. Spots are intentionally limited to keep the space intimate. If this resonates, you’re welcome here.
