BIPOC WomeN’s Process Group

registration is now open!

 

You know the feeling when you’re carrying the weight of some pretty heavy emotions, ashamed to speak them aloud, uncertain if anyone else has ever gone through something similar, weary of being judged if you do share, and yet finally feeling compelled to courageously share it? Yeah, us, too.

We aren’t meant to go through this life on our own. We crave connection and belonging. While one-on-one therapy can work wonders, healing can and does happen in community. It can happen over the dinner table, at the coffee shop, at your local neighborhood event. There is something even more powerful in being deeply seen for who you are, in practicing vulnerability with people who understand the experiences of being a person of culture and in realizing that you are not alone.

 

This is what a Women’s Process Group is—a communal space for you to share your stories, witness each other fully and build a community of supportive women.


We are an open, ongoing group for adult women (age 20+) who are experiencing struggles of perfectionism, anxiety, low self-worth and shame. Members can join at any time in the year when an opening is available. We accept referrals year round and keep a wait list for anyone who is interested.

Each group is unique but all groups focus on self-compassion, vulnerability, shame resilience, healthy relationships, boundary setting, care of the self, and fostering connection. Maximum group size is 6 people.


all the details!

When? Every week on Tuesdays from 11:45am - 1:00pm

Where? Virtually via Zoom

Cost? $65 per group session for 75-minute groups. Payment will be collected at the end of each group session. We do not accept insurance for group offerings. A deposit of $65 will be required to reserve your spot in the group. This deposit will go towards the cost of your first session.

To protect the integrity of the group, all members are required to commit to at least 3 months of membership. After that, if you feel like you’ve gotten what you need and would like to exit the group, then we can discuss what closing out with other group members would look like. Otherwise, you are welcome to stay as a member of the group for as long as it feels supportive for you. If you decide to leave for a period of time, you can always re-enter the group at a later date, provided that there are spots available.

An initial intake assessment to determine goodness of fit for group based on client needs and current group focus, address group expectations, goals and policies, and begin building a relationship between the client and therapist.
