If you are a therapist, you hold space for others every single day. We witness pain, healing, grief, hope, and growth—often all in the same session. It is a profound privilege, and it also carries responsibility. Self-care is not optional. It is not indulgent. It is a core component of ethical and effective clinical practice. When therapists are well-resourced, regulated, and supported, clients benefit.

Embarking on the journey of special needs parenting can feel like you are entering a new world—one filled with complex emotions, new routines, and many unknowns. Many parents feel overwhelmed or helpless, or both. Whether you’ve recently received a diagnosis for your child or you’ve been on the journey for some time, know that you’re not alone, and you don’t have to do this without support.
