The Den’s Panel of Advisors

A rotating group of trusted, licensed therapists who serve as visible, accessible, and inspiring thought partners at The Den. Our goal is to create thoughtful, non-clinical touchpoints between families and the therapeutic world—grounded in community, curiosity, and connection.

Corporate Facilitations by The Den

Where parenting, workplace culture, and mental wellness intersect.

The Den offers thoughtfully facilitated conversations for Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), leadership teams, and companies who want to better support working parents. These are not lectures or how-to checklists — they’re grounded, therapist-informed sessions designed to spark connection, clarity, and care.

Each session is co-led by a licensed therapist from our Panel of Advisors and a Den facilitator, bringing together clinical expertise and real-life context in a way that’s warm, inclusive, and accessible. Topics are tailored to the needs of your team, with space for reflection, dialogue, and real-time support.

Our approach includes:

  • Guided conversation rooted in developmental psychology, lived experience and diverse parenting journeys

  • A balance of research, storytelling, and peer insight

  • Light structure, deep resonance

Example topics:

  • Tech + Kids: Navigating screen time without shame or rigidity

  • The Mental Load: Making the invisible visible — and sustainable

  • Co-Parenting Dynamics: How roles shift, stretch, and settle

  • Attachment in Action: Understanding your child’s needs (and your own)

  • Returning to Work: Identity, transition, and emotional logistics

You’ll walk away with:

  • Tangible language and strategies you can bring into daily life

  • Normalization, not prescription

  • A sense of connection with others navigating the same questions

  • A reminder that you’re not alone
