Navigating Career Identity Loss (support for professional transitions)

Session Theme: The Ghost of 9 to 5: Exploring job and career identity loss. Processing the loss of career identity, job changes, and professional disappointments.

Not all grief comes from death.

We grieve friendships that fade, jobs we’ve lost, versions of ourselves we’ve left behind, and dreams that never came true.

Hidden grief is the sadness we feel when we lose something that isn’t a person’s life—like losing a friendship, a relationship, a job, or a community. Society dictates that it is somehow less worthy of being mourned, that one should move on quickly from it. What makes these kinds of losses “hidden” is not that they don’t happen, but that we usually think of grief as something only related to someone’s death.

Kathaa is starting a hidden grief support group to provide a safe space for all these stories to come to life.

This 5-session online support group is a gentle, non-judgmental space to explore these often unspoken losses.

Each session will focus on a different theme of unconventional grief, helping you name, feel, and move through what you’ve been carrying.

YOU MAY JOIN ONE SESSION OR ALL.

Finding Support On TheMindClan.com

How It Works

1. Find Support

Browse our curated list of mental health professionals, support groups, and resources that resonate with you.

2. Learn More

Read detailed profiles, specialties, and approaches to understand if they're the right fit for you.

3. Connect Directly

We'll help you reach out and then step aside - your mental health journey is personal.

While we carefully curate our listings, we encourage you to make your own informed decisions. Take time to research, ask questions, verify credentials and choose what feels right for you. Your comfort and safety is top priority.

Inspired By Our Own Struggles.

We launched TheMindClan.com because we know firsthand how challenging it can be to find support for ourselves and our loved ones. We know that experiences of neurodivergence (like dyslexia, ADHD, autism, etc), or being from a marginalized community (LGBTQIA+, etc), can make it especially challenging to find support.

We understand the overwhelming feeling of scrolling through endless lists, wondering whom to trust, and not knowing what to expect.

For Everyone

Whether you're coping with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, grief, or any other mental health concern, we're here to help you find the right support.

Inclusive by Design

If you are queer, neurodivergent, or are from a marginalized community, your experiences are at the heart of what we do.

Handpicked with Care

Support providers are handpicked after personal interviews and a rigorous curation process.

For context: From 442 therapist who wanted to join our platform (Oct 2020–Mar 2025), only 168 made it through our curation process.

Not Just Therapy

We also curate support groups 👥, create digital exercises 📱, and work on corporate partnerships 🏢 that help make mental health a priority in more spaces.

No Middlemen. Take Things Ahead Directly

We provide you with direct contact details of support providers, empowering you to reach out, ask questions, and schedule sessions

Access Their Story

Get to know your potential therapist or support group's background & journey, helping you find someone who feels right for you.

Confidential

Your conversations with support groups, therapists, and others remain completely private. We never ask them for any information about the concerns you have shared with them.

Your Relationship, No Interference From Us

If the therapist or support group you choose is not a good fit, you can use our platform to find someone else you feel more comfortable with. We're not here to interfere with your relationship with your support provider.

If you appreciate our mission of making mental health care accessible and inclusive, and would love to bring this to your organization or collaborate with us, we'd be delighted to hear from you!
