WELCOME NEW MEETING ATTENDEE

I had the pleasure of meeting Maria Mercado LPC at the March 18th meeting!! She is new to the Huntsville area and was referred to our group by Brynnan Reedy, LPC. Maria came from the Virginia area and is in the process of transferring her credentials over to Alabama. Maria is a welcome addition to our community! Maria is a Spanish-speaking therapist, is Gottman certified, sees couples, and is certified in EMDR! Welcome Maria!

Traveling Therapists?? YES, Sign me UP!!

During the March meeting, we talked about learning opportunities not only in our area but in destinations far and wide! I learned that other therapists had a desire to travel, thrive as therapists/entrepreneurs, AND continue to grow clinically! Here are some of the upcoming opportunities we shared:


Not Your Typical Psychotherapist: Nashville, TN, May 2022: https://cavacademy.com/not-the-typical-psychotherapist-summit-nashville/


Dare to Endeavor Therapist Retreat: Savannah, GA, Sept 2022: https://www.theendeavoracademy.com



In 2019, three therapists met in magnificent Denver, CO on a professional and personal endeavor to grow, learn, and relax. That awe-inspiring journey connected us, Lisa Duez, Michelle Salazar, and Pam Tippit: We realized we met “Our People."


In each other, we discovered beautiful souls who are passionate about offering quality counseling & consulting services to our communities and beyond. We discovered soul sisters who think and live "outside the box" as female entrepreneurs. We realized our paths crossed to enhance our individual journeys...and so began our EndeAVOr!


Join 3 therapists from across the US (Alabama, Virginia, and Ohio) as we gather together and dare to connect, grow, and EndeAVOr!!!

Find “YOUR People” immersed in the ambience of charming Savannah, GA. If you have already found “Your People,” bring them!

Common Ground Cowork – OPENING SOON!

Christina Pannell, LICSW, PIP and Louisa DiLeone, LPC-S are excited to announce the launch

of Huntsville’s first coworking space for therapists. Conveniently located in downtown

Huntsville, their space offers five fully-furnished offices and a group room that are set up with

therapy in mind. Each office can be reserved by the hour, day, week, month, or longer. The best

part is, you only pay for what you need – whether that’s 2 hours a week or 40! This is a space for

therapists who are currently in, or want to be in, solo practice. This is not a group practice, which

means all members will have their own businesses that they run their way, on their schedules.

Common Ground only exists to provide the office space & support needed to run a successful

private practice.

Don’t need office space but want to take advantage of Common Ground’s business address

service or group/conference room? There’s a membership for that! Numerous options are

available and, depending on the membership level, fees include, but are not limited to:

  • Fully-furnished office and group space
  • Same-office booking for continuity
  • Utilities (electric, water, internet)
  • Business address & mail services
  • Client check-in kiosk
  • Marketing support
  • Printer/Scanner/Shredder
  • Locked Filing Space
  • 24/7 digital door access
  • All the coffee/tea you can drink
  • …and so much more!

This is a new practice concept in Huntsville and Christina & Louisa are ready to answer all of

your questions! Send them an email at hello@commongroundcowork.com or check out their

website: www.commongroundcowork.com. NOW BOOKING TOURS!
