This group is for adults who find themselves overgiving, overfunctioning, or losing themselves in relationships. Often labeled as codependency, these patterns are understood here as learned ways of staying connected and emotionally safe. Rather than focusing just on boundaries or quick fixes, the group explores how self-abandonment developed, what it protects, and how it shows up in real-time relationships. Through an attachment and relational approach, members practice staying connected to themselves while engaging with others. The group offers a supportive space to build awareness, increase emotional clarity, and create healthier, more secure ways of relating without sacrificing yourself.

Everyone has a story to tell. Trauma, especially in childhood, can steal a person’s voice and push people to hide their story. Finding a way to own and to express this story can be a powerful step in building resilience from trauma. However, because music can be such a great tool, as well, we have a jam session at the beginning and end of each session.

Ideal for clients and their loved ones to engage in mindfulness practices. TIY helps people integrate sensations that can come to the surface from talk therapy. TIY can help build confidence to maintain personal wellness routines outside of therapy sessions. Trauma can have a lasting impact on both our physical and mental well-being. Sometimes traumatic experiences make our body disconnect from our mind and as a result, we feel detached from our own physical sensations and emotions. Trauma-Informed Yoga (TIY) is an integrative activity that can help you.

Anxiety Support Groups
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
