Caregivers for People with Chronic Illnesses
This group is for caregivers of people suffering from Lyme disease, other tick-borne diseases, autoimmune diseases, or other chronic illness. This group is a thematic process group for caregivers to work through the range of feelings they have like loss, frustration, discouragement, uncertainty, anger, love, support, exhaustion, and others from caring for a person coping with the devastation of these illnesses. Special attention will be paid to finding a working balance between taking care of their loved one(s) and taking care of themselves.

Chronic Lyme and Autoimmune Disease Patient Group
This group is for Lyme, tick-borne illness, dysautonomic, and autoimmune patients to support and work through issues that they experience. This group is a thematic process group to work through the changes, losses, fears, uncertainties, and discouragement that most patients experience in finding a diagnosis, seeking treatment, and coping with the devastating impact such diseases can have on their lives. In addition to supporting patients through this trying time, a goal of this therapy is to work on developing new senses of meaning, given the losses and limitations that patients often experience with these crippling diseases.

Accepting Ourselves: Vulnerability & Authenticity
Shame underlies so many experiences of fear, anxiety, depression, helplessness, and anger. And so often, hiding our shame robs us of the capacity to meaningfully connect with ourselves and other people. Using Brene Brown’s book The Gifts of Imperfection, this group will create a safe environment to help you learn more deeply about yourself in relationships, become more resilient to shame, work through painful past and current interpersonal experiences, and practice vulnerability and authenticity to lead a more fulfilling life. The group will also offer you the opportunity to connect more deeply with yourself and other people.
