Ann Arbor/Ypsi Therapist Meetup
The Therapist Meetup is for Mental Health Therapists in the Ann Arbor or Ypsi area. We meet monthly(ish) to share resources, learn about the unique specialties of others, and network. We usually have someone from the group share a short presentation during each meetup, and spend our time together discussing that topic, as well as any other conversations that naturally spring up.
Our meetups are always on Friday mornings from 10:00am-11:30. The location changes from month to month as different therapists or group practices offer to host.
Send an email to ashley@vaduvacounseling.com to get added to the email list to stay up to date about group meeting dates and topics. Specific meetup addresses & location info are shared via email, so that’s the best way to make sure you show up in the right spot!
