Explore Our Therapy Groups

Description: This group aims to engage the unconscious and learn to deepen our individual capacity to focus inward using music as a tool to explore the self. Every week participants will lsten to a curated playlist that explores themes related to the human experience while monitoring their emotions, sensations, imagery, and intuitive responses. Weekly themes may include: belonging, authenticity, change, shame, forgiveness, and self-worth.

Description: This Polyvagal informed group is based on the knowledge that the autonomic nervous system (responsible for triggering fight or flight, and faint or freeze) is shaped by early experience and reshaped with ongoing experience.

Using psychoeducation and a variety of experiential exercises, both in and between group sessions, clients will tune into their nervous system, begin to reshape their responses, and increase their ability to regulate difficult emotions leading to an increase in feelings of safety and connection. Following the principles of polyvagal theory, clients will be guided to safely connect to their autonomic responses and navigate daily experiences in new ways.

Each session will include psychoeducation, a related experiential exercise and brief discussion about client experience of the exercise. Optional exercises appropriate for use by clients between sessions will be given to enhance the therapeutic change process.

Description: “Where do you feel that in your body?” You’ve probably heard your counselor say this at least once, and maybe you haven’t known how to answer. Trauma can make it hard to identify what’s going on in your body, but it’s possible to build and strengthen your mind-body connection. We can do this through a variety of techniques that all fall under the somatic umbrella. In this group, we’ll be exploring a wide range of somatic tools so that you can find something that works for you that you’ll want to return to again and again. Techniques that we will explore will include breath work, mindfulness (which is not just meditation!), grounding, visualization, and others. There will also be some journaling, drawing, and occasional group discussion.

Description: What is Embodiment? Why do we want to acknowledge our bodies as an important part of living fully alive? In this 10 week course we will explore our embodiment and disembodiment by acknowledging our bodies as pathways back into connection and wholeness. The group will be structured using the work of Hillary McBride, PhD and her workbook “Practices for Embodied Living.” Each week will include opportunities for exercises, reflections, and exploration in a safe, trauma informed space.

Description: A group that is a blend of process and psychoeducation for people who are interested in identifying & pursuing meaningful change in their lives, be that in their habits, behaviors, relational patterns, self-concept, etc. Perhaps you have been in therapy for years & are feeling ready to take steps toward changes that didn’t feel safe or accessible until now. Perhaps you consider yourself to possess a significant degree of self-awareness, & are contemplating what to do with all that you know about yourself. From a trauma-informed perspective, that holds grace & compassion for all group members, we will discuss values, stages of change, limitations & barriers to change, & existential concepts of choice, agency, freedom, & responsibility.

Description:This group offers a weekly, trauma-informed space for individuals diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) to build understanding, self-compassion, and connection with others who share similar lived experiences. Sessions will center on psycho-education—covering topics such as the neurobiology of dissociation, the function of parts/alters as adaptive survival responses, window of tolerance, grounding and co-consciousness strategies. Structured time will be built into each session for members to voluntarily share resources (books, articles, clinicians, coping tools, apps) and personal insights that have supported their own stability and self-understanding.

Description: This group explores the concept of metta, or lovingkindness, as it is traditionally understood within Buddhist psychology and philosophy while integrating these teachings into contemplative, modern everyday life. Through this exploration, participants will deepen their understanding of compassion for both themselves and the world around them.

This group is designed to support individuals who experience patterns of self-criticism, negative self-perception, or diminished self-worth by offering both psychoeducation and practical tools for cultivating self-compassion. Participants will learn about mindfulness, meditation, lovingkindness, and compassion-focused practices while developing accessible, everyday skills to foster greater compassion and emotional resilience.

The first three sessions will focus on psychoeducation related to metta, compassion, mindfulness, meditation, and lovingkindness practices. The final three sessions will emphasize integrating these concepts into daily life through mindfulness-based exercises, compassion-focused skills, and guided practices.

Description: We all develop habitual patterns in how we respond to challenges, discomfort, and uncertainty. Sometimes these are familiar to us and other times they exist outside of our awareness. Lasting change comes not only from seeing these patterns with clarity but gently reshaping how we relate to them. Drawing from Buddhist teachings, this group supports participants in recognizing their habitual responses, including trauma-rooted patterns such as flashbacks, dissociation, and avoidance, and in developing new, more flexible ways of meeting experience. The group combines meditation practice, wisdom teachings, storytelling, and discussion to explore suffering and cultivate present-moment awareness, compassion, lovingkindness, and equanimity. This group is open to beginners and those with prior experience.

Description: The parenting journey can be a bumpy road, especially when it looks and feels different from what we expected. Raising a neurodivergent child or children is a complex undertaking that can be frustrating, fascinating, triggering, rewarding, and exhausting. We’re called upon to understand and accommodate our children’s needs, support their growth, and advocate for their ability to meet their potential and thrive – often while navigating our own challenges with neurodivergence, trauma, or the overwhelming demands of day-to-day life.

Neurodivergent Parenting: Navigating the Unexpected is a place to connect with other parents and guardians who have similar experiences. Together we’ll reduce isolation, increase self-compassion, build our knowledge base, and share resources to support you and your whole family system in being well.

Description: Dreams have long been understood as expressions of the psyche that speak through images, emotions, symbols and stories. In this trauma informed group, participants will learn how to engage with their dreams with curiosity, creativity, and imagination as a pathway toward healing and transformation. Drawing from Jungian and Archetypal psychology, this group offers practical approaches for recalling, tracking, and engaging with dreams. Throw out those dream interpretation books! Participants will be encouraged to develop their intuition to determine a dream’s significance and cultivate a living relationship with their dream imagery. Through a supportive environment with an emphasis on respect for individual experience, dreams will be explored through personal reflection, imagination, creativity, storytelling, mythology, and dialogue.

Description: Where words fail, art can help us give shape and meaning to the things we’ve been through. By tuning into our creative impulses, we can learn to bypass the limitations of language and access the internal strength necessary to heal.

This group seeks to provide a safe, judgement-free space for trauma survivors to explore their experiences through the sharing of personal artwork and the completion of in-session creative activities. Each week, we will focus on a unique artistic exercise meant to help externalize traumatic experiences in a safe, structured way. Rather than technical skill, the group will emphasize expression and positive engagement from peers.

You don’t need to be a brilliant artist in order to tell your story.

Materials will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own!

Description: Rooted in Ecopsychology, this group will explore the human relationship with Nature as our original attachment figure. Being with Nature is a valuable resource that is accessible to anyone, whether that means being outside, looking out a window, tending a plant, collecting rocks, or even caring for a pet. Nature holds space for us to be our authentic selves with no judgment or expectations, providing comfort when the demands of our modern world feel overwhelming.

Each week we will explore different ways to experience Nature through weekly activities, explorations, meditations, and reflections. Members will be invited to share something each week, whether a poem, a photo, a Nature object, a simple observation, or anything else that calls to you as an individual and your unique relationship with self and Nature. Together we will work toward achieving Nature connectedness in a meaningful way via awe, enthusiasm, mindfulness, grounding, curiosity, creativity, attunement, reciprocity and sharing inspiration. Developing and nurturing this connection can be a helpful tool for building a relationship with self, others, and our world while aiding in trauma recovery.

Any level of curiosity or experience with Nature is welcome to join, with adaptations to meet your personal abilities and comfort level. This group hopes to guide your discovery that YOU are one of the many “Wonders of Nature.”

Description: Religious trauma can affect a variety of ways in which you engage, or don’t engage in your life. Due to how high-control groups work, this can result in struggling in multiple parts of your life, such as work, relationships, sex, and your relationship to yourself. This group provides a space for psychoeducation and learning to identify signs and symptoms of religious trauma, the cycle of abuse, explore comorbidities, and learn to to live your life in authenticity rather than distress about the morality of your authentic self. This group will meet virtually each week to reinforce that while this happened to you, these experiences do not define you. Expressive creativity is always welcome, but not a requirement.

**please note** This is not psychoeducational as in learning about it/how to care for others/loved ones. This is for people who have personally experienced religious/high control group trauma and are looking for community.

Description: Do you struggle with letting people in? Do social engagements make you nervous, no matter how much you may want to attend? Are you worried that you are too different from others to make meaningful friendships? A major impact of trauma can be losing a sense of connection to others, feeling anxious about interactions, and feeling like you can’t to talk to people. Some of us never learned how to do those things in the first place. Experiences of isolation and loneliness can be some of the most challenging to heal from, and they have tremendous impacts on our mental health. This group aims to create a well-rounded approach to building social skills and confidence through an educational, supportive, and enjoyable environment.

This group will focus on three main areas:

1. Learning Social Skills
2. Processing the barriers that prevent you from having a robust and fulfilling social life
3. Creating positive social interactions through activities

Description: Each week there will be optional prompts for writing as therapeutic self-reflection, time set aside for writing together, and opportunities to share your work. You can develop your own creative voice and offer encouragement to others as they explore the written word.

You can choose each week if you would prefer to write just for yourself, or if you want your work to be heard by the group. There is no obligation to share if you’re not comfortable doing so. Writers of all skill levels are welcome.

Description: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) founded by Marsha Linehan, is a group focused on building your skill set in four different areas: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Emotion Regulation. You may choose to attend one or all skill categories and there is no homework. We will start each group with a mindfulness practice and then discuss the skill, which might include reading and discussing a handout.

• Mindfulness Session: the practice of being fully aware and present in this one moment.
• Distress Tolerance: how to tolerate pain in difficult situations, not change it.
• Interpersonal Effectiveness: how to ask for what you want and say no while maintaining self-respect and relationships with others.
• Emotion Regulation:   how to change emotions that you want to change.

Description: Are you feeling drained, overwhelmed, or unable to say “no” to people? Do you avoid interactions with certain friends or family members? Are you already dreading the holidays?

We all know that we should have “healthy boundaries”, but what exactly does that mean? How do you identify when a boundary needs to be set? How do we implement them in our lives? Pulling from Nedra Glover Tawwab’s Set Boundaries, Find Peace and other healthy boundary resources, this group will explore what boundaries are, how to set them, and how to hold them.

Description: The holiday season can bring grief to the surface in ways we don’t always expect. Traditions may feel different, celebrations can carry complicated emotions, and the absence of a person, relationship, role, or chapter of life may feel especially present.

Holding Grief Through the Holidays is a virtual processing group offering a supportive space for adults navigating grief, loss, or significant life changes during the holiday season. Rather than focusing on “getting through” grief or trying to make the holidays feel a certain way, participants will have space to talk openly about what they are experiencing and connect with others who may be carrying something similar.

Sessions will center on shared processing and reflection, with opportunities to explore holiday expectations, traditions and memories, changing relationships, difficult emotions, boundaries, and what it means to make room for both grief and meaningful moments during the season.

Description: Food and the holidays are complicated, especially when we live in a large body. This group will provide a space to prepare, plan, and debrief the experience in being in a large body during food-centric holidays. Whether you are spending that time with family, friends, or alone, sharing your fears and experiences with others can help you through it. Session topics may include and/or touch on diet culture, health industry, BMI, parenting, weight loss, the “obesity epidemic”, among others
