Meet the founders

Alison Dunning, MBA, LCSW - Tech guru

Heather Huiting, LCSW - Speaker liaison 

Margaret Masi, LCSW - Member relations

We're just three long-time pals and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who decided that the world a little more community—because, let’s face it, therapy can get lonely! Armed with our degrees and a good sense of humor, we’re on a mission to create a warm and fuzzy space where everyone can connect, share, maybe even chuckle a bit. Join us as we navigate the wild ride of mental health together—after all, laughter is the best medicine (right after actual therapy)!
