Gathering interest for a virtual LGBTQ+ Processing and Support Group in the states of NC, SC, FL. For safety of the group, every participant will need to be vetted by me; up to 8 participants at a time. This would not be just a support group but would also involve processing (as comfortable by participants). The intent for the group is to build community free of discrimination and isolation from others while learning social/communication skills, conflict resolution, and others as requested. Insurance for this group can be billed, without insurance each group would be $30. Date TBD.
