Why I Started Soulstice

Hey everyone, I am Kevin and I want to share a bit about why I started Soulstice Therapy.

To do that, I need to go back to a time before grad school, before therapy was even something I planned to pursue.

I was working in tech then. I had a finance degree, and on paper I was doing all the right things. Still, I felt drawn toward work that felt more meaningful and more connected to people.

Around that same time, people close to me were struggling with their mental health. Mental health was not something people talked about openly then, and I found myself wanting to be more helpful and better equipped to support them.

I made a deliberate decision to try something else.

I left the tech world and went to grad school to become a therapist. It was a meaningful transition that challenged how I thought about work, success, and connection.

While I was in school, I spent a lot of time reflecting and writing. Not just about clinical work, but about how therapy could continue to improve, especially for the people doing the work. I kept coming back to one core belief. If we want clients to receive good care, we also need to support the clinicians providing it.

After grad school, I gained experience working in private practice, and that belief continued to solidify.

I became more focused on how clinicians could be better supported through fair compensation, flexibility in how they work, and access to additional ways to grow professionally and financially. I saw how sustainable wages, autonomy, and multiple income opportunities are essential for clinicians to do their best work and stay in this field long term.

At the same time, I was watching a new generation of clinicians show up online, sharing their voices, building platforms, and making therapy feel more accessible and human. It felt like the field was evolving, and I wanted to help build something aligned with that direction.

That is where Soulstice came from.

Soulstice is about creating a practice that supports clinicians as whole people. I wanted to focus on building a practice that make the work easier and more sustainable.

That gives therapists the space to grow, experiment, and show up as themselves, while clients receive thoughtful, high quality care.

That is what Soulstice is built on, and that is the work I am committed to.
