Let’s build this community
After leaving community mental health I started my private practice an that’s when I realized how lonely this position is.. so I created my TikTok with the sole purpose of creating a community and meeting therapist online. So if you’re a therapist or are working in the mental health, let’s get connected !

Transitioning from community mental health work to private practice can indeed feel isolating, as many therapists experience the loss of daily peer interaction and immediate professional support. I found that joining and creating online communities, especially through platforms like TikTok, was a game-changer. These communities offer a unique space where therapists can share their challenges, coping strategies, and triumphs. For those who have survived or are currently navigating community mental health settings, connecting online fosters a sense of belonging and alleviates feelings of loneliness. Through hashtags such as #communitymentalhealth and #therapistsontiktok, professionals exchange valuable resources and emotional support. Engaging actively in these forums not only helps combat professional isolation but also enhances personal growth and resilience. It’s important to remember that self-care and peer connection go hand in hand in sustaining a long-term career in mental health. By building these digital communities, therapists can support one another through demanding work environments and the unique stresses of private practice.
