This a casual, in-person gathering for therapists, prescribers, and mental-health professionals in the Ann Arbor area. We meet at the Ann Arbor Club on the third floor for conversation, connection, and collaboration—coffee and light bites included.
Our format is intentionally relaxed and conversational. Rather than formal lectures, we focus on dialogue, breakout discussions, and getting to know one another as people and professionals. The goal is to create space for peer support, shared learning, and meaningful referral relationships.
Upcoming Speaker Conversations
Vladimir Lipovetsky, MD, PsyD
Psychoanalytic Thinking in Modern Clinical Practice

This group is open to those working in or closely connected to the mental-health field. Ideas for future topics and speakers are always welcome.
This is not a space for client-specific clinical disclosures.
Sharing resources or services is appropriate when it is relevant and relationship-based.
If you have accessibility needs, please reach out in advance so we can do our best to accommodate.
