Support & Therapy Groups
While we live our personal stories with all their uniqueness, when we have spaces to share openly with others we start to encounter the universal in our lives. As we process with attention to both, we find opportunity to connect with and support others even as we learn how to accept support, cope, and thrive during the challenges in our own lives.
Groups are not run continuously. If you are interested in a group, let us know what you are looking for and we can see if there is a current group that fits your needs. We may add groups when we see a need and there is enough interest for a particular type of group. We am currently gauging interest in groups related to the following, contact us if you are interested in these or other groups.
