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.

This group uses Dungeons & Dragons as a structured, therapist-led environment to build social skills, emotional awareness, and confidence in teens. Through collaborative storytelling, students practice communication, perspective-taking, problem-solving, and managing social anxiety in a low-pressure, engaging format. The game naturally creates opportunities to navigate peer interactions, tolerate frustration, and develop flexibility, while also giving quieter members space to find their voice. The focus is on helping teens feel more competent and comfortable in social settings, with skills that translate directly into school, friendships, and everyday life.

This group uses Dungeons & Dragons as a therapeutic space to build confidence, connection, and a sense of community. While social growth is still a component, the emphasis shifts toward strengthening identity, interpersonal confidence, and belonging. Participants engage in collaborative storytelling that encourages self-expression, creativity, and meaningful interaction, often helping individuals who feel isolated or unsure in social environments find a more natural way to connect. The group fosters a supportive, consistent community where members can take interpersonal risks, develop confidence in how they show up with others, and build relationships in an authentic, low-stakes way.

Join us on the second Saturday of the summer months as we together practice slowing down and savoring the little things. Our time together will intentionally involve multiple senses as we drink herbal tea, do some gentle stretching, breathe more mindfully, and engage in relaxed, process-oriented art-making. The intention is just to be more present to ourselves and our bodies with kind attention. No art experience is needed.
