This support group is for adult daughters of emotionally immature mothers who are ready to heal long-standing patterns rooted in unmet needs, parentification, or emotional neglect.

The group blends trauma-informed practices, parts work, and gentle relational processing in a supportive, confidential space. You’ll learn to understand your history, regulate your nervous system, and build healthier relationships with yourself and others.

Grief support for spousal loss often supports widows & widowers of all ages. Although these are highly valuable, many young widows (ages 30-50) often find themselves not quite "fitting in". Losing a spouse, partner, or significant other while in the throws of establishing yourselves, possibly growing a family, planning & dreaming for the future, & navigating the highs & lows of life together creates a different grief experience than later in life. Group therapy offers an opportunity to speak openly about your loss, better understand yourself & your grief, build connections, & grieve in community. Held virtually, Fall 2025 - Winter 2026. Connect to learn more.

The next opening for this group is Summer, 2026. We will work through Inner child, ACOA, trauma, and codependency issues using experiential, expressive, and somatic therapies. These are body- based, action-oriented methods that go beyond what many talk therapies access. Clients have the opportunity to express feelings and explore their own story, practice new ways to ask for what they need, and experience giving and receiving in a healthy way. Accountability to other group members often serves as a motivator to make changes outside of group.

Women's Issues Support Groups
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
