Yesterday’s therapist mixer, An Afternoon at Rooted & Rising, brought together mental health practitioners from all over Pittsburgh for good conversation, the building of friendships, and sharing in the importance of both mental and physical wellness with the expert guidance of our wellness vendors in attendance!

This work can be isolating sometimes, and it was good to be reminded of the importance of community. We really don’t do best in isolation; we do our best in community surrounded by colleagues who are genuinely invested in one another!

Thank you to April Jackson for your breath work guidance, Tara for your precise eye for headshots, prize donors, our lovely wellness vendors: Joyful Soul, ARTuition, A Total Healing Solution and The Grounded Living Co, and every therapist/practitioner who came out!

Until the next gathering!
