The Grounded (Therapy) Practice

Find Your Grounded Practice: Support for Therapist

The journey to becoming a therapist is deeply rewarding—but the early years can feel overwhelming, isolating, and uncertain. If you’re an early-career therapist struggling with burnout, imposter syndrome, or questioning whether you’re in the right profession, The Grounded (Therapy) Practice peer support group is here to help you navigate these challenges with clarity and confidence.

You’re Not Alone

Many therapists in the first few years feel:

  • Burned Out from managing a heavy caseload, administrative demands, or the emotional weight of client work.

  • Insecure about your clinical skills, questioning whether you’re truly helping your clients.

  • Lonely in your role, unsure where to turn for professional camaraderie or guidance.

  • Exhausted by the constant balancing act of supporting clients while managing your own mental health.

  • Overwhelmed by the pressure to grow your practice, keep up with continuing education, and maintain work-life balance.

If this resonates with you, know that it’s not a sign of failure—it’s a sign that you need support.
