About
A Place for Therapists was born as an inspired idea through Nina in 2023. She has birthed that vision into reality, intentionally creating a space for Healers of all kinds to visit for support, wellness, restoration & community.
Nina is currently offering weekly Circles, a Monthly Membership Community, and Individual Reiki sessions for Healers.
about the founder
Hello! My name is Nina and I am the Founder of A Place for Therapists. I am so happy you have arrived here now.
I have been working as a professional in the mental health and wellness field for over 12 years.
Throughout my years of experience working in these fields, I have learned a lot about how to support others, and in doing so, a great deal about myself.
Working as a healer in this world is an invaluable gift that brings me great fulfillment + joy. Through my career journey, I have also faced many challenges that have led me to discover an important truth— consistently tending to my own well-being as a healer in this world is a non-negotiable. As it is often said, you can’t pour out of an empty cup!
Learning to show up for myself as a priority has been a journey in itself, and has led to my own metamorphosis as both a professional and human being. It has helped me become a more integrated, grounded, authentic, and bright guide for the clients I serve.
At this time in my career, I feel called to pour into the cups of other healers, and to support them in learning how to make their own well-being a non-negotiable.
It is my mission to support healers at any stage of their career to foster a deeper connection with themselves, and to learn how to tend to the garden of their own hearts.
I believe that this happens best in community and connection, which is why A Place for Therapists was born.
Through A Place for Therapists, I combine my extensive training, work experience, education, and life experience to provide offerings that deeply support all who come to visit or stay a while.
