Let's Get Unchained...
Welcome to Therapists Unchained, a vibrant resource hub and community dedicated to empowering mental health providers. Here, we believe in the power of self-advocacy and collaboration, creating a space where providers can come together to learn, share insights, and support one another. As we navigate the evolving mental health landscape influenced by insurance companies and VC-backed/tech platforms, we strive to push back and champion the voices of those who are at the heart of mental health care.
Therapists Unchained is about reclaiming our power, building community, and sharing knowledge so we can protect the future of our field — together. Whether you’re a Mental Health Counselor, Marriage and Family Therapist, Clinical Social Worker, Substance Abuse Counselor, Clinical Psychologist, or simply someone who cares about the soul of mental health care — you’re in the right place.
About
My name is Sivie Suckerman...
A little bit about me. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I started this journey in 2005 when I began my MA in Clinical Psychology. Since then, I've practiced in community mental health, social services, school-based mental health, residential, crisis intervention, private practice, and group practice. I've been a clinician, clinical supervisor, and Clinical Director. I even had a very short stint as the Director of Behavioral Health at a FQHC. I'm now a small group practice owner and fierce advocate for our field.
