We were so thrilled to be able to attend the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium in DC. It was amazing to connect with providers in real life, hear more about their 'why,' and share ours. Building community and supporting mental health professionals is what we’re all about. A huge thank you to all the providers who stopped by to chat with us and reminded us why making mental healthcare more accessible matters so much.

At Alma, we’re building more than a platform—we’re building a community of mental health care providers supporting one another in building sustainable, thriving private practices. When you refer other clinicians to Alma, you help us strengthen this community. And to show our appreciation, you’ll also earn $500 for every successful referral!* Help grow our community and refer a clinician today at https://lnkd.in/eFpvqJkd *View Alma’s referral policy to learn more about timing and qualifications: https://lnkd.in/e8sEhh6d

Some days, managing anxiety feels like a full-time job. The mental checklists, racing thoughts, the constant effort to self-regulate... Next time you feel like anxiety is taking over your calendar try: 1. Grounding techniques like deep breathing or the 5-4-3-2-1 method 2. Journaling to externalize thoughts and reduce mental clutter 3. Movement, even just a short walk, to release built-up tension 4. Talking to a therapist for support and coping strategies If you’re looking for a therapist who gets it, check out the Alma directory to find a provider who fits your needs: https://lnkd.in/e4jE4Ek2

✨ The habits we don’t notice might be the ones holding us back. ✨ Alma’s VP of Clinical Operations, Elisabeth Morray, PhD, recently spoke with SELF Magazine about subtle mental health habits that can have a big impact, like constantly living in our heads or using negative reinforcement as motivation. As Dr. Morray explains, “Focusing on the past is connected to depression, and focusing on the future is connected to anxiety.” This article breaks down six common habits that can quietly undermine our well-being—and what we can do about them. 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gbrzKd6w  Which of these habits resonates most with you? Let’s discuss in the comments!

Will we see you at this year’s Psychotherapy Networker Symposium? We’re counting down the days until we connect with providers, share insights, and celebrate the incredible work you do every day.
