Join Our Community of Therapists.

A supportive community for private practice therapists who want to grow, connect, and care well—for their clients and themselves.

Practicing in Community

Private practice doesn’t have to mean practicing alone.

So many therapists enter private practice seeking flexibility and autonomy—but end up feeling isolated and drained. Without a built-in team, it’s easy to miss the camaraderie, mentorship, and collaboration that help you stay grounded and inspired in your work.

join us

That’s why we created the Therapist Collective

Are you a fit?

We’re a community of trauma-informed, evidence-based clinicians who believe healing happens best in connection. At the Therapist Collective, we take care of the helpers so the helpers can take better care of their clients. Whether you’re a new clinician finding your professional identity or a seasoned therapist craving support and rest, this is a place to belong, collaborate, and thrive.

how it works

A community built around connection, growth, and balance

Growth & Mentorship

Gain insight and wisdom from seasoned therapists down the hall.

Therapist Collective →

At Cypress Counseling Group we also have in our community a Therapist Collective. We are a group of private practice owners committed to evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy. We want to help our clients heal for the long-term, and approach therapy with a lens that tries to understand story so that our clients better understand why they move through the world the ways that they do. We have a diverse group of therapists with expertise and techniques that are highly valued in gaining traction in the healing work our clients want to do for themselves.

Partnership →

We would love to invite you to join our Collective and be a part of a community that takes care of the helpers so the helpers can take better care of their clients. We want to help guide and mentor newer clinicians as they find their identity as therapists and balance the ways they support their clients with the ways they support themselves. We also want to partner with seasoned therapists who shoulder years of challenging and rewarding client work and may need time for rest, support and collaboration.

We might be a good fit for you as a therapist if you are looking for:

Seasoned Clinicians →

Seasoned Clinicians down the hall to gain insight and wisdom and share ideas to support your clinical growth. Monthly Connections Meetings so you don’t have to eat lunch alone. Join our optional gatherings to meet other clinicians, learn from each other and curate wonderful referral sources to support each other’s business growth. Monthly Intentional Practice Coaching Meetings led by Carla Babb, so you can learn through a mastermind approach how to grow your private practice in ways that support work/life balance.

Bi-monthly Case Meetings →

Bi-monthly Case Conceptualization Meetings led by Paul Babb to offer clinical peer support on the treatment planning process.

what our community have said about working with our therapists

Counselor

We are constantly collaborating with each other on who is the best referral source for a particular client. We are growing together in the work we do either through supervision several of us provide (myself included), through monthly case collaboration, through our monthly Connections meetings, etc. We even have several medication providers. Additionally, the Cypress name is known throughout our therapeutic community and has a great brand and reputation for quality mental health care. It is a no brainer that I stay here!!!! -

Stephanie Grissom, LPC-MHSP

Counselor

As a fully licensed private practice owner, I cannot say enough about working with Paul and Carla Babb through their Cypress affiliation. When I set out to open my practice one thing that felt important to me was to still be in community with other therapists. I have that here! I have rented for almost 7 years and have no plans of going anywhere else. I have deepened friendships that already existed and made new friendships.

Stephanie Grissom, LPC-MHSP

Counselor

Being a part of the Cypress community has been one of the most grounding and life-giving parts of my professional journey. It’s more than just a shared workspace, it’s a community where encouragement, collaboration, and genuine connection thrive. The community here has offered shared wisdom, consultation, and genuine friendship, all the things that make the work we do more sustainable and meaningful. I’m deeply grateful for the sense of belonging and the shared mission we have to support both our clients and one another. -

Ashton Ross Landers, LPC-MHSP (temp)

Counselor

"The community at Cypress Counseling is truly one of a kind. In a field where it’s easy to feel isolated, Cypress creates an environment of connection and support. Through community events, educational lunches, opportunities for supervision, and genuine relationships with other therapists, Cypress nurtures both personal and professional growth. I can’t imagine working anywhere else and every time I step into the office, I feel supported, inspired, and find value added to my day. It’s a space where you’re met exactly where you are and encouraged to thrive."

Taylor Eades, LPC-MHSP

Counselor

"Carla and Paul have done such an incredible job of building a community of skilled and compassionate clinicians. The intentionality and energy they have put into each supportive aspect of the Cypress community is felt clearly and deeply. Whether in supervision with them or as a solo practice renter, they create a sense of abundance and encouragement all around, with the flexibility to engage as much or as little as clinicians' bandwidths allow. It truly is the best of both worlds to have all the benefits of solo private practice and the support and nurturance of a community and makes the intimidating jump to private practice feel easier and more manageable. I'm so grateful to be a part of Cypress."

Sami Wary, LPC-MHSP
