If you’re looking for a space that truly supports you as a therapist, you’ve found it. We’re excited to offer a community designed to care for you — your growth, your well-being, and your practice. Through meaningful connections, learning, consultation, and self-care — plus support with the business side of your practice — we want you to feel equipped and empowered so you can show up fully for your clients, prevent burnout, and build a practice that feels authentic and sustainable.
We are the founders of The Connected Therapist- Jen Alley, LPC-S and Gillian Amaro, LPC-S- and we are passionate about helping therapists succeed — personally and professionally. With 15 years of experience each, we know how isolating and draining this work can feel. That’s why we created an affordable community built on the belief that connection and support are the keys to flourishing both personally and as a therapist. Our community provides ongoing support, meaningful connections, continuing education, case consultation, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. Whether you’re seeking guidance for your own well-being, looking to enhance your experiential work with clients, navigating difficult cases, or managing the business side of your practice — we’re here for you. Our goal is to help you feel supported, connected, and equipped to succeed.
