Therapy & Support Groups
"Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion."

After the Storm Group
This group provides a space of shared experience for women, femmes, and gender expansive folx who are transitioning out of a long-term marriage or relationship that was unfulfilling, limiting, or wounding. It can be daunting to recover, and move on, from a relationship where parts of you were unseen, unheard, and unsafe. In this group we will practice honoring the pain as a way of releasing its hold on us. We will process the difficult relational dynamics we experienced and explore the limiting narratives we have believed about ourselves. We will work to find and use our voices in a supportive setting with others who can relate and offer encouragement. ​

​
This group is open to women, femmes, and gender expansive folx and will meet once a month in person on Thursdays 5:30-8pm. This group will meet for 5 months. Each group is $125.
Step Parent Support Group
This group provides a supportive space for all genders in step or bonus parenting roles to gather for support and to process worries, struggles, and hopes. ​It can be incredibly fulfilling and deeply complicated to assume the role of step/bonus parent. It is easy to become overwhelmed and insecure with so many expectations, wounds, and nuanced relationship dynamics to navigate, and the lack of access to peers only increases isolation. Using her years as a child and family therapist, Jessi will provide both support and practical tips to empower participants to create the step/bonus parenting relationship that will work best for their family system.
​
This group will resume in September and has openings.
​
This group is open to all genders and meets virtually the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays 12-1pm. The group is ongoing and has a minimum 10 session commitment. Each group is $65.
Refuge Group
This group provides a compassionate space for women, femmes, and gender expansive folx who find themselves feeling trapped in contentious co-parenting dynamics. An estimated 15-20% of co-parenting relationships remain high conflict resulting in intense emotional, physical, and financial stress that very few comprehend. This space will serve as a refuge for those feeling weary and longing for community with those who understand. We will process the wounds, while also empowering each other to skillfully respond to baiting and grow resilience within our families to weather this storm. We will support each other in personal healing and attuned parenting even amidst the ongoing co-parenting strain.​​​
