Group Therapy

An adult only support and process-oriented group focused on understanding the toxic people in our lives and how to manage those relationships without losing ourselves. Having a parent with mental health and/or personality disorders creates quite a few challenges. This group provides a supportive environment to share your own challenges and experiences with these relationships with others who understand and have been there too. It’s a safe space, free of shame and isolation so often experienced by those growing up in these environments. It also creates an opportunity to learn from each other, gain an understanding of these relationships and what’s happening under the surface, so you can navigate them in a healthier way. You’ll learn how to develop effective boundaries for yourself, process your feelings, understand your emotional needs, develop effective communication, and learn the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships, all while protecting your emotional needs.

We have all experienced the pain of grief when losing someone dear to us. However, few know very much about the process of grief. It's common for many people to try and avoid the pain of grieving altogether in a desire to get back to “normal.” Despite our culture of “3 days of bereavement,” research consistently shows grief is ongoing and building community is the healthiest and most successful way of processing the myriads of emotions we feel. We travel down the path of grief alone despite all research indicating that coming together, sharing our experiences and emotions, our challenges, and supporting one another, wherever we are in our grief, is the healthiest and most successful way to process our loss and pain. In this group, we will gather to support one another and provide a safe space to navigate this journey together. It doesn't matter when your loss happened; if it was recent or long ago, if you are ready to work through that loss and the grief, you are more than welcome to join us for that journey.
