✨ 1 YEAR OF GATHERWELL✨

One year ago, I decided that adjusting to life as a new mom wasn’t quite challenging enough… so I also started a private practice in mental health counseling.

What followed was a year of building something from the ground up: developing my private practice identity, leaning into creativity, and shaping a space that truly reflects the care I want to provide. I welcomed my first clients into my own office, built a full caseload much faster than anticipated, and had the privilege of witnessing meaningful breakthroughs that continue to remind me why this work matters.

This year also expanded beyond my office walls into local public schools, into our community, and into relationships that have deepened my sense of purpose. It wasn’t without challenges, but each one built resilience and strengthened the foundation beneath me.

I’m incredibly grateful for everything year one has brought. Every client, every lesson, every stretch and I’m even more excited for what’s ahead.

I can’t wait to share what’s next for Gatherwell. Stay tuned!

Healing is not passive. It is not something time does to us, but something we learn to do within time.

It’s the quiet work of facing what hurt, understanding it, and growing around it instead of letting it define us.
What once felt like it would break us slowly becomes something we know how to carry. Not because it disappears, but because we do the work and change in response to it.

As a therapist I love the use of metaphor. It’s often the clearest way to understand what otherwise feels intangible.

With the recent flooding and the rise of the Rogue River, this image kept surfacing in sessions this week.

A river doesn’t question itself when it swells. It doesn’t apologize when it moves beyond its banks. It responds to what it’s been given…rainfall, runoff, pressure upstream.

Our emotional lives aren’t so different.

There are seasons where things stay contained, where the current feels familiar and manageable. Then there are times when too much accumulates at once. Stress, grief, change, uncertainty…and the water rises. It moves faster. It carries more. It stretches beyond what we’re used to holding.

That isn’t failure. It’s response.

Emotional overflow isn’t a sign that something is wrong with you. It’s often a sign that something significant has been asked of you.

And like any river, it won’t stay at its highest point forever.

Gatherwell Counseling Collective was created with a simple idea in mind: the most meaningful work happens in community. 🤍

We are a shared community of independent therapists, each bringing our own unique specialties and perspectives, while working alongside one another in a space rooted in connection and support. Clinicians maintain their own private practices, but have the added benefit of collaboration, encouragement, and a sense of community.

For clients, Gatherwell offers a more connected experience. Access to a variety of therapeutic approaches all in one place, making it easier to find care that truly aligns with your needs.

For therapists, our model is intentionally membership-based. There are no percentage fee splits, and membership rates are thoughtfully structured to reflect the resources, support, and space provided. This allows therapists to fully invest in growing their own practice while being supported, encouraged, and renewed through meaningful connection with other professionals.

We believe that when therapists feel supported in community, the care they provide becomes even more impactful. There is something deeply human about not doing this work alone and that kind of connected, supported care creates meaningful, lasting change.

✨ Please join us in welcoming our newest collective member, Melissa Phebus, and her practice, Olivia Joy Counseling! ✨

"What a delight to be connected to Gatherwell Counseling! I have found support and encouragement through my time with Natalie and her willingness to help me each step of the way!"

Olivia Joy Counseling has been formed from a passion of helping women (18+) find peace and joy in both how they have been crafted and where they have been planted. In the various roles that we have in life, it can be confusing to know who and what to listen to. The opinions coming from people we love, social media, or even our personal history of "how we have always done things" can be many and contradicting.

Melissa would love to help you calm the inner noise, determine your next best step, and gain the confidence to turn it all into action! For more information about Melissa, please visit OliviaJoyCounseling.com. You may reach out through her website, or email her directly at [email protected]

We’re so glad to have you as part of the Gatherwell community, Melissa!
