East Bay Therapist Community
A Gateway to a Connected Therapist Collective
Being a therapist is a journey that can sometimes feel lonely. But it doesn't have to be.
Navigating Solitary Spaces and Unspoken Burdens
As therapists, we often find ourselves in solitary spaces, behind closed doors, delving into the depths of others' most intimate experiences. We share in their joys and sorrows, yet the demands of our profession limit our ability to freely share these experiences with our cherished ones. We understand the unique struggles of our profession, from the rewarding moments to the heart-wrenching ones. The weight of loss, particularly when a client's journey takes a tragic turn, can be a burden carried alone, understood best by our fellow therapists.
The EBTC Mission to Connect and Support Therapists in the East Bay
At EBTC, we're more than just a therapist networking hub; we're a dream brought to life. Founded by Nes Pinar, a psychotherapist in private practice, who is passionate about uniting people to build meaningful communities, EBTC is a manifestation of years of dreaming and conversations with fellow therapists. It's a space where we jump into the depths of collective wisdom, leaning on each other for support and knowledge.
At EBTC, we invite you to join this collective endeavor to connect, grow, and support one another on our professional journeys. Together, we can transform the often isolating path of being a therapist into a rewarding and connected experience. Welcome to a dream fulfilled - welcome to EBTC.
Water & Life:
The Well as the Heart of our Therapist Community
The Well, a timeless emblem of Community, carries a profound significance, and it feels very fitting to what we hope to achieve through EBTC.
In ancient eras, the Well held a dual essence—it stood as a symbolic representation and a physical epicenter of the Community. Water, the essence of life and sustenance, was drawn from this sacred source, nurturing and sustaining the community. Beyond its literal role, the Well symbolized the abundance of social resources crucial for the community's endurance and prosperity. Ailing or tainted, if the Well languished, so did the community, echoing the intimate link between their collective vitality and the well-being of this revered source.
