In this episode of The Mental Health Business Mentor podcast, we explore how compassion fatigue can quietly impact therapists—and why community is one of the most powerful antidotes. Our guest, Natasha D'Arcangelo, shares how isolation often deepens burnout, while intentional networking and peer connection can restore energy, perspective, and purpose. Natasha and Margo discuss how building supportive professional relationships not only benefits clinicians’ well-being but also strengthens practice growth and sustainability. This conversation invites therapists to rethink networking as a form of care—for themselves, their practices, and the clients they serve.

What You'll Learn:

• How compassion fatigue shows up for therapists and why it often goes unrecognized
• The role isolation plays in deepening burnout—and how community can help reverse it
• Why networking isn’t just about referrals, but also about emotional support and sustainability
• Practical ways therapists can build meaningful professional connections without feeling overwhelmed
