Group Support General Information
How Do Ongoing/Open Groups Work?
You can be in a group for as long as it feels right to you!
No long term commitment is necessary (with the exception of our open studio).
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.
If you have questions or want to see if a group fits for you, please Contact Emery to discuss options.
You will always have a chance to speak with the group leader before beginning.

Grief in Daily Life - Virtual Meetings
with Celia Gagnon Mondays, 7-8pm (Ongoing Support Group - $45/meeting, 6 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 how to 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! Celia 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. |

No matter what life challenges you with, it helps to be in community! Please feel free to join us for a weekly creative arts group!

There will be guidance for intention setting at the beginning of each meeting, prompts, and a framework for sharing/listening at the end. Sharing at the end is optional and you choose what you would like to share. The majority of the time is for personal creative exploration. All welcome and no experience necessary! |

Graduate Student Support - Virtual Meetings
with Emery Mikel Starting January 2024 - Day/Time TBD (based on interest) - every other week (Ongoing Support Group - $60/meeting, 8 people max) Wondering how to balance the challenges of graduate school, meet new peers, and expand beyond your immediate academic circles? This biweekly support group will be a space where you can share experiences and tackle challenges that arise as a graduate student while also getting support from both peers and a seasoned therapist. Some of the topics we will cover include developing a new professional identity, managing workload pressures, and developing coping skills so you can feel more grounded. There will be space for discussion, creative and mindfulness exercises, and time for group members to bring up questions or challenges they are currently dealing with. |
