Bringing Therapists Together in Portland, Oregon
Make new friends & build your referral network!
For practicing psychotherapists, MFTs, LPCs, psychiatrists & social workers in Portland, Oregon. Sometimes we have space at our events for grad students or psychotherapy adjunct professionals. If you sign up for the google group, we’ll clearly define who events are open to.
What we do
We host free, in-person events for local psychotherapists to make new friends and build their referral networks. Most of our events happen on late Friday afternoons in Southeast Portland, but we may expand our offerings in the future.
The best way to find out about upcoming events and build community with other local practitioners is to sign up for our PDX Therapists Network + Connect Google Group.
Our meetups are generally limited capacity, fill up quickly and require signing up ahead of time. In the google group, you’ll be one of the first to hear our event announcements.
