General Information
Ongoing/Open Groups
You can be in a group for as long as it feels right to you! No long term commitment is necessary.
As a member of an ongoing group, each participant agrees to pay for their spot, every session (regardless of attendance). This promotes consistency and offers the best experience for all involved. When you feel it's time to leave the group, you just let the therapist know 1-2 meetings before, so you can have some closure with the group members.
Groups with a Set Time Frame
When you sign up for these groups, you are joining for the full time period stated (usually 6-8 meetings). There will be an option to pay upfront or to take advantage of the payment plan (no extra cost!).
If you have questions or want to see if a group fits for you, please Contact Emery to discuss options. She will also be happy to put you in touch with the person running the group for a phone call prior to the group starting.

Grief in Daily Life - Online Meetings
with Emery Mikel Mondays, 7-8pm (Ongoing Support Group - $45/meeting, 12 people max) Best for people experiencing a loss in the past 1-2 years. Start your week off in a supportive and creative environment with others while exploring your own experience of grief. We never completely recover from the loss of a loved one, but time makes it easier to carry with us. This group is for those learning how to exist with grief and continue living life on a daily basis. We will explore and share both verbally and creatively (meditation, art making, etc.), but no prior experience is necessary! Emery will guide you throughout the hour and you will come away with new insights, skills for living with grief, and the ability to breathe a little easier. Feel free to share this information or reach out to Emery with questions or interest. |
