Some books challenge what we think we know. Others remind us of what drew us to this work in the first place. And sometimes, the best part of reading is getting to explore the ideas with other people who understand the complexities of being human—and being a therapist.
The Healgood Collective Book Club is a space for mental health professionals to gather, learn, reflect, and connect through thoughtful reading and conversation.
Whether we're revisiting foundational psychological theories, exploring contemporary perspectives on clinical practice, or discovering new ways of understanding ourselves and those we work with, our goal is to create space for curiosity, critical thinking, and meaningful dialogue.
This isn't another lecture or presentation. It's an opportunity to slow down, engage with ideas, share perspectives, and learn from one another.
Help us choose our next read!
We're currently exploring a variety of books that have sparked interest within our community, from classic psychological texts we may have studied but never read cover to cover, to contemporary perspectives on mental health, relationships, identity, and the human experience.
And we'd love your input!
CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR OUR SPRING BOOK SELECTION
Have another book in mind? Our survey also includes an open suggestion box. Whether it's something you'd love to explore this spring or an idea for a future book club, we welcome your recommendations.
Our final selection will be announced well in advance of our first gathering, giving everyone time to obtain the book and begin reading.
Registration is open now! You don't have to wait for the book announcement to reserve your spot.
Over four monthly gatherings, we'll explore our selected book through facilitated conversation, thoughtful questions, and reflection on its relevance to ourselves, our clients, and our work as mental health professionals.
Each gathering includes:
✦ Thoughtful Discussion: Facilitated conversations that invite curiosity, reflection, and a diversity of perspectives.
✦ Clinical Connection: Opportunities to explore the ideas, theories, and themes presented in the book and their potential relevance to clinical practice.
✦ Reflective Learning: Guided questions and supplemental materials to support deeper exploration and engagement.
✦ Community & Connection: Meaningful conversation with fellow mental health professionals in a welcoming, collaborative environment.
✦ Complimentary coffee, tea, and assorted snacks
✦ Continuing Education: Up to 6 CE hours (1.5 per gathering) for eligible participants.
You don't need to be an expert on the book's subject, and you certainly don't need to agree with everything you read.
Come ready to engage, question, reflect, and share.
First Fridays | 1:00–2:30 PM
Friday, February 5 — Session One
Friday, March 5 — Session Two

Continuing Education: Up to 6 CE hours anticipated across the four-session series (1.5 hours per meeting), subject to final program details and applicable eligibility requirements.
We offer community-supported pricing to help make professional learning and connection more accessible.
All registration tiers include the same experience. We invite you to select the rate that best reflects your financial circumstances and capacity to contribute.
✦ $200 — Equity: A reduced rate to support greater financial accessibility.
✦ $250 — Sustaining: Our standard registration rate, supporting the continued offering of thoughtfully facilitated professional learning experiences.
✦ $300 — Pay-It-Forward: For those with the financial flexibility to contribute more and help support accessible registration options for fellow clinicians.

Your registration includes all four book club gatherings, supplemental materials, complimentary beverages and snacks, and applicable continuing education opportunities.
The selected book is purchased separately.
Continuing education information, including the program's content designation and license-specific applicability, will be finalized following the book selection.
Eligible participants may earn up to 1.5 CE hours per meeting, for a total of six hours across the series.
Participants must attend the full session and complete the required post-session evaluation to receive applicable continuing education credit.
Please review the CE information once finalized and verify its applicability to your individual licensing requirements.
Our book club is intentionally small, creating space for meaningful discussions, diverse perspectives, and genuine professional connection.
Whether you're a returning participant or joining us for the first time, we hope you'll find a space where you can show up as both a clinician and a human being—curious, thoughtful, and always learning.
Registration is open. We hope you'll join us!
