Groups

Rediscovering You: Military Spouses' Circle

Hosted by

Desiree Lilley

Rediscovering You: A Virtual Spouses’ Process Group is a therapist-led virtual group for military spouses navigating identity changes, stress, and emotional exhaustion related to military life. Frequent moves, deployments, caregiving roles, and career disruptions can leave spouses feeling disconnected from themselves. This group provides a safe, confidential space to share experiences, process emotions, and build resilience alongside others who truly understand. Through guided discussion and peer connection, participants explore personal growth, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with their voice, purpose, and sense of self—beyond the role of spouse.
