This isn't networking. It's community.
The Therapist Social Club exists for one simple reason: to create a supportive community through genuine connections.
Not surface-level professional connections. Not transactional relationships. Real community—the kind where you can:
-
Share the stresses, hopes, and wins of growing your practice.
-
Find colleagues who become the friends you text on a random Tuesday
-
Ask questions about running a business and learn from each other
-
Connect as whole people, not just as therapists with specialties to market
What we do:
Monthly Social Gatherings
We host casual, in-person meetups designed for one thing: getting to know each other as real people. No agendas. No pitches. No pressure.
Just therapists being humans together—sharing stories, building friendships, and creating the supportive community we all wish existed when we started private practice.
Our Monthly Socials
Opportunities for connection. We meet monthly on the first Sunday or Thursday of the month.

The Private Practice Lab:
a 7 week, online private practice support group
The Peer Support You've Been Looking For
What if you didn't have to figure out private practice alone? This 7-week online support group creates a space for 5 therapists to come together, share honest struggles, and get real help on the challenges that keep us up at night - Whether you're struggling to fill your caseload, set sustainable rates, or just need accountability from people who get the unique pressures of private practice.
Using a "spotlight" format, each person gets a full session dedicated to their specific issue while the group brainstorms solutions and offers support. It's peer consultation meets accountability meets the kind of genuine connection that reminds you why you do this work in the first place. Only 5 spots available. Learn more below:
Our Story
The Therapist Social Club was founded by Deniss Pleiner-- a therapist in search of community. After feeling lost in endless email lists, faceless names, and networking events with fleeting connections, she decided to create a space that values connection and fosters community.
TSC is not just another networking group -- our goal is to facilitate the growth of real human connections and support to help you succeed in whatever your goals are. From growing your solo practice or business to exploring other avenues of creativity and fulfillment. Sound like your kind of place? Join the Club.
