Because Our Field Is Stronger When We Actually Know Each Other

If you work in mental health, you already know this: the work is meaningful, demanding, and often isolating. This gathering is an invitation to step out from behind the screen, away from referral lists and directories, and into real, human connection with others who truly get it.

This relaxed, open-networking event is designed for mental health professionals who want to build genuine relationships with local peers — not pitch, perform, or sit through presentations, but simply connect.

Come for conversation, shared understanding, and the kind of professional community that supports both the work you do and the person you are.

About the Host

Danielle Cote, LMHC is the founder of Guiding Light Counseling, a Massachusetts-based group practice. With nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals and families, Danielle brings a deep passion for working with the neurodivergent community.

In recent years, Danielle has expanded her work to support therapists in building sustainable, fulfilling private practice careers. She offers guidance on practice setup, credentialing, marketing, insurance billing, and burnout prevention, and hosts networking events throughout eastern Massachusetts with a clear intention: creating welcoming spaces where clinicians can build trusted relationships and support one another personally and professionally.

Danielle believes our field is stronger when we actually know each other — and that real relationships matter more than any algorithm or directory.
