Immigration support group
For immigrants and long-term international visitors experiencing dislocation grief, stress, sadness, loneliness, confusion, anger, and other issues related to acculturation. Its goals are to help develop a cohesive personal immigration narrative, to reduce isolation, and to help create a new sense of home. We explore identity, belonging, regret, stages of immigration, acculturation stress, family dynamics and expectations, grief related to separation or loss, efforts at reparation with and at rejection of the country of origin, and the impact of uncertain or shifting environmental circumstances. The group emphasizes reciprocity, acceptance, dignity and respect for each person’s story and worldview.

Death anxiety support group
A therapeutic support group focused on the universal, yet isolating, anguish about death and mortality. In a small, clinician-led setting, with others haunted by similar questions, we will explore fears about death, fear of annihilation, impermanence, attempts at immortality through art, spirituality, religion, or purpose, meaning and meaninglessness, joy and grief. The group integrates short readings, reflective discussion, processing of personal experiences and beliefs about death, and focuses on therapeutic approaches to help members increase tolerance for uncertainty, reduce isolation and avoidance, and cultivate a more grounded relationship to life and to human finitude. All ages are welcome.?

Middle age support group for women
For women in a developmental stage when they might sense that something within them is stirring, questioning, or no longer willing to be silent. Often arriving at midlife, this might be a reckoning with old roles, entrenched identities, or dreams deferred or unspoken. We will explore the psychological and emotional dimensions of this passage: loss and renewal, grief and vitality, resentment and longing, meaning and purpose, in order to listen to the inner life, examine old adaptations that may no longer serve, risk a more authentic relationship to oneself and to others, and make personal choices about what is emerging. ?
