Every year, Empathy First Counseling has the privilege of walking alongside graduate interns as they transform their education into lived, practiced compassion. This May, we're opening our doors — and pulling up extra chairs — to celebrate not just our own graduating intern class, but every social work graduate stepping into the profession in 2026.
This is more than a networking event. It's a moment to pause, look around the room, and recognize the collective courage it takes to choose this work — and the communities that will be changed because you did.
We're also extending a warm invitation to seasoned professionals in social work, counseling, and the broader helping professions. Come share your experience, offer encouragement, and invest in the next generation of clinicians who are about to join you in this work.
Whether you're just beginning your journey or you've been in practice for years, there's a seat at this table for you.
Come connect. Come celebrate. Come support.

Building Community
Last April, Empathy First Counseling proudly hosted a heartwarming networking celebration at a local community-favorite restaurant, honoring three exceptional Master of Social Work students as they completed their internships with our private practice. This inaugural event brought together a vibrant group of nearly 20 attendees, including fellow students from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, past interns and staff, and respected community leaders invested in shaping the future of social work. It was an inspiring evening of connection, shared stories, and meaningful conversations about the impact of social work and the importance of community partnerships. We're grateful for the opportunity to celebrate these students' hard work and to build bridges that will empower the next generation of compassionate professionals.
