Create. Reflect. Envision. Connect.
Start the year with a pause — not a push.
This 90-minute, in-person Vision Board Social is a gentle, creative space to reflect on what you’re carrying forward, what you’re ready to grow, and what you may want to leave behind. Instead of goal-setting from pressure or productivity, we’ll focus on listening inward, letting images and words guide what’s emerging for you.
This is a casual, come-as-you-are gathering designed for connection, creativity, and nervous-system-friendly intention-setting.
We’ll provide everything you need to create your board — poster boards, magazines, collage materials, glue, scissors, and light refreshments. You’re welcome to bring any images, quotes, or meaningful pieces that you’d like to include, but nothing is required.
Whether you’re feeling clear about your next chapter or simply curious about what wants to take shape, you’re invited to show up just as you are.

Upcoming Event
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb
A reflective, low-pressure space for clinicians to read, connect, and think together.
This five-part book club is an invitation to slow down and engage with one of the most beloved therapy-adjacent books of our time — whether you read every page, skim chapters, or mostly come to listen and reflect. There is no “right” way to participate here.
Led by Bernadette Chavez Piñon, LPC, SEP, this group is designed to be warm, thoughtful, and spacious. You’re welcome to share your insights, ask questions, or simply be present and let the conversation wash over you.
This is not an academic seminar. It’s a relational, human, clinician-centered space to explore what this book stirs up about our work, our clients, and ourselves.
Bring your lunch, get comfortable, and come as you are.
Why a book club?
So many clinicians want to read, reflect, and grow — but between full caseloads, paperwork, and life, it’s hard to make space for that kind of nourishment.
This group creates a gentle, supportive structure to slow down, think deeply, and connect with other clinicians in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.
It’s about remembering why we came to this work — and doing that together.
About the book
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone offers a rich, human look at therapy, vulnerability, humor, and growth from both the therapist’s and clients’ perspectives.
How the group works
The book is explored across four parts, with an introductory gathering to begin.
You are welcome to:
Join even if you didn’t complete the reading
Read at your own pace
Listen, share, or do a mix of both
We do encourage committing to the full arc (intro + four parts), as connection and depth build over time — without pressure or judgment.

What Sets Our Events Apart
1 | Grounded in Care
Our gatherings are grounded in care, humility, and respect — so you can show up as you are, be honest about where you’re at, and take part in the process without needing to perform.
2 | Intentional Facilitation
Led by experienced clinicians who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.
3 | Collaborative Energy
Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the participants as from the content itself.
