Work independently, without doing it all alone

As a psychologist, therapist or coach it can often feel like you’re on your own. Finding a professional workspace—and peers to connect and exchange ideas with—isn’t always easy.

Emilie: “I discovered how challenging it is to run a practice without the right support. That insight led to Stories — a place that offers everything I once wished I had.”

In 2020, Stories was founded with one clear intention: to create a space where psychologists, therapists, and coaches feel both professionally supported and deeply connected. Our mission is to take care of you — so you can focus on caring for others. From warm, well-designed workspaces to reliable support and seamless tech, everything is in place.
