For the therapist, the counselor, the psychologist, the school counselor, the clinical social worker, and the friend in the grad program. "A Chatbot is not a Therapist." "Rest is not a Reward." "Burnout is not a Strategy." "Therapy Takes a Whole Person." "Practice Radical Empathy."
Two threads. The first is the work itself: rest, empathy, care, and the growing pile of apps that claim to do it. The second is the neurodivergent-affirming set that clients ask about after they see it on the wall: "ADHD is not a Character Flaw," "Autistic Adults Exist," "Listen to Autistic People," "Meltdowns are not Tantrums." No jargon, no diagnosis humor, nothing a client would have to explain to their family.
Every shirt is printed to order in the USA on a heavyweight garment-dyed tee, unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. The fabric is heavy and smooth with no scratchy print, which matters to a lot of the people in this collection.

Questions people ask
What is an appropriate gift for a therapist?
Something about the work rather than about you. "Therapy Takes a Whole Person" and "A Chatbot is not a Therapist" are the two most gifted; "Rest is not a Reward" is the one therapists buy for themselves.
What is a good gift for a newly licensed therapist?
"Therapy Takes a Whole Person" is the one for passing the licensing exam, and "Burnout is not a Strategy" is the one for the first year in practice. Both come in eight colors, and a group order works for a graduating cohort.
Do you have a design for a neurodivergent-affirming practice?
Yes, several: "Neurodiversity is not a Flaw," "Listen to Autistic People," and "Sensory Needs are not Preferences." The full set is on the neurodiversity shirts page.
