Consultations
Monthly consultations are a key part of our network—a chance to connect with other therapists, talk through cases, share ideas, and gain new perspectives. These sessions are designed to help us grow as professionals while strengthening the sense of community within our field.
-
Therapist Socials
Therapist Socials are all about connecting with fellow therapists in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. Think networking, but casual. Less business cards, more real conversations, and a lot more fun. We visit local restaurants and entertainment venues to unwind, share a laugh, and build meaningful connections with our peers.

Community Outreach
We’re dedicated to making mental health a regular part of community conversations. By volunteering, hosting workshops, and attending local events, we aim to normalize therapy and support mental well-being in our area.
Act Local.
Founded by Shannon Garcia, LCSW, the Plainfield Area Therapist Network welcomes licensed clinical mental health therapists from Plainfield and surrounding areas to collaborate and grow together. By focusing on the unique needs of our local communities, we strengthen our connections and empower individuals to seek the mental health support they deserve.
"Think globally, act locally." – René Dubos
When we invest in our local communities, the ripple effects can lead to change far beyond our immediate surroundings.
