Self Employment Questions
Developing Business Skills
If you are interested in starting or developing your path into private practice, Emery would love to share the knowledge she's gained from over 10+ years of experience. She went from starting an art therapy contracting business, rebuilding as a self-employed therapist in a new state, to founding Water & Stone in 2015, and growing it into the company it is today. The topics and approach will be tailored to your needs as well as your dreams! Everything is based on your level of comfort and ability with whichever stage of business you are in and where you see yourself in the near and distant future. For those more experienced, Emery can help in areas such as marketing, troubleshooting, business skills, client-based issues, and the general day-to-day needs of your business.
Emery did a great interview about entrepreneurship and private practice! Listen to the wonderful podcast with host, friend and colleague, Reina Lombardi. Reina owns a group practice in Florida and has co-presented with Emery at national conferences on multiple occasions.

New Professional Support Group ($35/meeting)
Because it’s 2020… Support Group for Front Line Health Care Workers (Support Group) with Alexa Palmer Thursday 7:45pm-8:30pm
Overwhelmed by the intensity of working through the pandemic? Looking for a supportive network of professionals experiencing similar stress? Together, we will connect, support, and express our experiences as well as share ways of coping with COVID-19.
I am a creative arts therapist who continues to work in a hospital setting through the pandemic. I have experienced some of the intensities as well as witnessed the pandemic pandemonium turning the hospital system upside down. I would like to offer a space where front line workers can feel safe, supported, and strengthened by this time together.
In this support group, we will also learn about different signs, symptoms, and strategies for stress management in order to help reduce long lasting stress or PTSD like symptoms. This group will include meditation, breath work, and gentle movement experience to help us create, enhance, and integrate more moments of calm in our days.
