Groups
Parents who are estranged by their adult children
This group is for parents who have been estranged/abandoned by their adult children. This has become increasingly more common recently. The polarization and cut off, often with no explanation, causes unbearable pain leaving parents confused with often no one to turn to. It frequently causes family members to take sides increasing family conflicts. This group is to help parents navigate the path to healing and to teach self care before emotional issues set in permanently. This therapy group is in person only and is held in Tempe. New group will begin July 13th, 2025.
