Are you focusing your energy on taking care of others, even at the expense of your own personal fulfillment? Are you seeking deeper connections? Are you ready to find new ways to make meaningful changes in your life? You are not alone. Many women, especially mothers, easily inhabit a caretaking role within their families, workplace, and friendships, but find it more challenging setting healthy boundaries, developing satisfying friendships, and tuning in to their own needs. This therapy group will help you connect with other moms in a safe and nurturing place where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and interactions.
