This group addresses the need for ongoing emotional and mental support beyond traditional psychotherapy. People often struggle to maintain the progress achieved during therapy sessions (especially if loved-ones have not taken advantage of psychotherapy) and may revert to old reactions if relationship dynamics remain the same. At times, these challenges can make you feel as though you've lost all the growth you've obtained. Mental Health Monarchs helps bridge the gap between psychotherapy and everyday life by offering ongoing support and resources for improved interpersonal interactions and emotional self-mastery.

Group Therapy for Mental Wellness is a virtual expressive arts group for adults ready to process emotions through creativity, reflection, and connection. This group supports deep feelers, high achievers, and those healing from emotional burnout, people-pleasing, or childhood wounds. We use art-based prompts—like journaling, collage, poetry, and symbolism—to explore themes of identity, boundaries, self-worth, and emotional clarity. No artistic skill is needed—just curiosity and a desire to slow down and feel. This is not about performance—it’s about liberation. Let your creativity speak where words fall short.

Think of your grief as a wilderness—a vast, inhospitable forest. You must journey through this wilderness. To find your way out, you must become acquainted with its terrain and learn to follow the sometimes hard-to-find trail that leads to healing. In the wilderness of your grief, the touchstones are your trail markers. They are the signs that let you know you are on the right path. When you learn to identify and rely on the touchstones, you will find your way to hope and healing.

Grief Support Groups
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
