Group Therapy

Sometimes a group is better than One-on-One.

I know, right? Who’da thought. I not only observe this to be true for clients, but have experienced this to be true myself.

Sometimes the most effective way to decrease isolation, stigma, and shame & increase a sense of connection and self-worth is to be part of a group of people sharing a common experience. There’s nothing quite like learning from one another in a space held by an experienced facilitator.

I take care to place people thoughtfully into a group that will work for them. My groups can be ongoing or time-limited. All groups are self-pay and while I do not accept insurance, you may be able to claim out-of-network benefits to cover some part of your expenses. Check out my FAQ page for information on how to talk to your insurance about this.

All groups are LGBTQIA-friendly.

Past Groups

  • This mutual-aid-style support group is for people over the age of 18 who self-identify as transgender, gender-nonconforming, nonbinary, agender, gender-expansive, or anything other than cis.

    Group norms and topics will be collaboratively determined by members along with the facilitator. Somatic and expressive activities will be offered according to interest.

    Possible topics include:

    • Dealing with transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, and other oppressions

    • Coping with gender dysphoria, noticing or creating gender euphoria

  • This mutual-aid-style support group is for anyone who feels like an artist, works as an artist (whether paid or unpaid), or who wants to be an artist but has never felt “[fill-in-the-blank] enough” to own that identity.

    Each group session will begin with a creative activity. All group topics will be democratically selected by group participants. Possible topics include:

    • Artist’s oppression: what is it, understanding its effects

    • Keeping an artistic/creative practice

    • Creating under capitalism

    • Navigating commerce/commercialism, self-worth

    • Neurodivergence & creativity

  • This group is for folx in their early- to mid-twenties. School is done or mostly done, but now you’re managing the transition into young adulthood, and there’s so much to learn it feels overwhelming sometimes.

    Group topics will include:

    • Young adult oppression: what is it and how can I stop blaming myself for it?

    • Financial decisions

    • Relationships: creating healthy ones, navigating “toxicity,” boundaries

    • Job woes or questions

A formal diagnosis of ADHD is not necessary to join, but lived experience of being neurodivergent and/or having a divergent nervous system is.

    Session Themes:

    • Feelings about late diagnosis, feelings about early diagnosis, and about diagnoses in general

    • Managing hyperfocus & dopamine withdrawal

    • Sharing learned wisdom about living life with ADHD
