Groups

Heal in and with community.

Healing happens in relationship with other people. Group therapy and non-clinical support groups allows folks to come together, learn from each other, and grow and heal together. Our therapists lead a variety of groups related to different struggles, diagnoses, experiences, and interests. Find one that resonates with you below!

Group Therapy

  • Emotion Regulation Skills Group

    Tuesdays 5-6:15pm
    Virtual | 8 Weeks | Adults 18+

    Led by Sasha Solov, LCSW

    For a lot of us, difficulties in regulating painful emotions can be at the root of many of the other issues we face in our lives. Whether you are someone who over-trusts your emotions - and ends up acting on them before having a moment to think - or undertrusts your emotions - pushing them away until they find another way to sneak up on you - this is the group for you! 

    In this 8-week group you will gain skills to improve your emotional awareness, make empowered choices about whether and how to act in response to big feelings, and establish practices that improve your overall emotional resilience. You will get to explore all of this with the support of a licensed therapist and others who share similar struggles and are looking to learn and grow together. 

    This group is the third in a 4-part series on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills. You are not required to have completed the other two parts (Mindfulness and Distress Tolerance) to attend this group.

  • Riding the Waves: PMDD/PME Therapy Group

    Led by Alyse Ruriani, LPC, ATR-BC

    If you live with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) or Premenstrual Exacerbation (PME) of another diagnosis, you know how difficult it is to ride the waves of the menstrual cycle. Living with a cyclical disorder can be exhausting, confusing, and isolating–but you don’t have to navigate it alone. In this 8 week therapy group led by an art therapist who has PMDD, you can connect with others who get it, gain more understanding of your cycle, and learn methods to improve and manage your symptoms.

    This group is designed to support folks of all genders who have PMDD/PME through a combination of peer support, psychoeducation, creative processing, and skill building. Each session will be anchored in a topic for the group to explore as we ride the waves together.

  • Environmental Grief Group: Connection in the Face of Climate Change

    Mondays, 7:15-8:15pm
    Hybrid | 6 Weeks | Adults 18+

    Led by Tara Ouillette, LCPC

    Many of us struggle with climate grief and anxiety in the face of widespread climate destruction. It can sometimes feel isolating and invalidating to try to share these feelings with others who seem indifferent about caring for the Earth. Throughout the 6 weeks, we will use structured activities and group discussion to identify and process emotions around climate change, develop coping tools for living in an ongoing climate crisis, and foster a sense of community, connection, and purpose. We will honestly and safely explore difficult feelings like burnout, powerlessness, and hopelessness around the deep grief, while simultaneously moving towards connection, resilience, and meaning-making. The fight is hard, but you don’t have to fight alone.
