The Fat Therapists Community

A monthly gathering for rest, reflection, and connection for fat therapists seeking community and support.

During this era of GLP-1s, being a fat acceptance, body liberation therapist is so important, and for fat therapists, it’s harder than ever! You can’t do this work in isolation.

These monthly meetings are an opportunity to gather with other fat therapists who get it, to explore the clinical challenges, to reflect on what happens in the therapy room, and to get support for all your parts. Facilitated by fat therapist, supervisor, and experienced group leader, Laurie Gutierrez Ganberg, LICSW, the Fat Therapists Community is a monthly hour and a half meeting that starts with a somatic practice, includes time for reflective discussion, and ends with an invitation to engage in a creative practice. Trauma informed, consent-based, and grounded in anti-oppression, this group welcomes therapists who are plus-size, or small-fat or larger. Capped at 8, this group is designed to be small to create community. Student, associate, and fully licensed therapists are all welcome from any location.

The Fat Therapists Community is offered with a tiered pricing model:

• The Community Supporter rate for each 1.5 hour group is $90, payable at registration.

• The Sustainer rate is $75

• The Community Supported rate is $60.

This pricing structure is designed to accommodate participants with different financial means and levels of privilege. I do not ask for any financial information or justification; I trust that clients will self-select the right rate for them.

If you have questions about the group, please reach out at laurie@fiddleheadtherapy.com — I'd rather answer your questions than have you sign up for something that isn't the right fit. If you’re ready to sign up, please register below!
