Events + Groups for Therapists

An informal hangout for therapists in the area to connect — no agenda, no pressure, just a chance to meet other clinicians in person and start building real community. Held every couple of months, with details (location, cost, theme) shared closer to each date. This is the easiest way to get to know us and the rest of the Bloom Room / Shrink Social community if you're not ready to commit to an ongoing group yet.

Depth Consultation Group for licensed clinicians

A small, ongoing consultation group for therapists who want to go deeper than case updates and quick advice — into the transference, countertransference, and emotional material that actually shapes the work.

Co-facilitated by Rachel Daggett, LMFT and Celynna Harnetiaux, LMFT, at The Bloom Room in San Clemente.

If you're a fan of Irvin Yalom, this is for you.

This group is for clinicians who want to bring the cases that stay with you. The ones that confuse you, frustrate you, move you, or unsettle you. The places where you feel stuck, protective, avoidant, overly responsible, or unsure. We'll work with transference and countertransference, parallel process, parts and shadow material, trauma and attachment, and rupture and repair — and with your own process as the therapist in the room.

This isn't a lecture-style group, a business coaching group, or a therapy group. It's a professional consultation group for licensed clinicians who are open to vulnerability, curiosity, and depth.

Details

Tuesdays or Thursdays, 8:30–10am or 9–10:30am (share your preference on the interest form) — every other week, at The Bloom Room in San Clemente. Come a few minutes early for coffee or tea.

Small group of 5–7 licensed clinicians. $130 per meeting. Ongoing commitment requested once the group begins.

Completing the interest form doesn't commit you to joining or guarantee you a spot — it helps us learn more about your background, availability, and fit for the group. If it feels aligned, we'll follow up with next steps.

This group is for licensed therapists who:

• are clinically experienced enough to want more than surface-level feedback

• are interested in psychodynamic, relational, attachment, trauma, existential, somatic, or parts-oriented work

• are open to exploring transference and countertransference, and willing to be vulnerable in a group

• want deeper consultation, community, and support for longevity in practice

How to Be a Therapist a business-of-private-practice + process group for early-career clinicians

How do you become a therapist when you're still becoming you?

This is a group for prelicensed and newly licensed clinicians who are figuring out both sides of that question at once: the practical side (how private practice actually works — caseload, fees, marketing, boundaries, saying no) and the personal side (who you are in the room, what you bring into it, and how to grow into your clinical self without losing yourself along the way).

Co-facilitated by Rachel Daggett, LMFT and Celynna Harnetiaux, LMFT, at The Bloom Room in San Clemente.

Half the group is business. Half is process. Both matter.

On the business side, we'll talk about things like building a caseload, setting fees and boundaries, marketing yourself without feeling gross about it, working toward licensure, and what private practice actually looks like day to day — the stuff no graduate program really teaches you.

On the process side, we'll talk about what it's like to sit with clients while you're still figuring yourself out. Imposter feelings. Burnout. The parts of you that show up in session. What it means to grow as a person and a clinician at the same time, and why that's not something to rush through or hide.

This group is for clinicians who want honest conversation about both — not just advice, and not just support, but both together.
