Heyy there! I’m akia grace and I host PsychSocial, a social gathering for psychologists, therapists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health folx who value PLAY and COMMUNITY.

With everything we carry in this work, we deserve spaces that let us do just that. Chill. Vibe. Connect. Too many of us are climbing our way back from burnout and compassion fatigue. We’re constantly holding space for others and PsychSocial is about holding space for ourselves, too.

This isn’t a networking event. 📣Don’t bring work here! Just pull up ready to meet new people, catch some rooftop vibes, sip something good, eat well, and be part of a community that fills you up.

Can't wait to see you there✨️
