Healing that happens in community -- where shared experience becomes a resource.
This is not a support group. It is structured group therapy using Narrative Therapy and evidence-informed frameworks to address the psychological and relational weight of living with chronic illness. Members move through a 12-session curriculum with clinical structure and real room for the hard stuff. Financially and emotionally accessible, prioritizing honesty over positivity.
This group also specifically addresses grief that often goes unwitnessed: the loss of a faith or spiritual framework in the context of illness, and the harm of spiritual bypassing from others. Not religion-specific. Informed by certification in religious trauma through the Global Center for Religious Research.
Anticipatory and ambiguous grief, including spiritual and religious injury. Identity loss and the grief of an unlived life. Dating and intimacy as a person with chronic illness. Workplace accommodations and professional identity. Self-advocacy in medical settings. Fluctuating capacity, fatigue, and pacing. Family dynamics and shifting roles after diagnosis. Anxiety and depression as comorbidities. Values clarification within limitation. Community, visibility, and chronic illness identity.
Adults 20 to 40 with any chronic physical condition who can commit to 12 consecutive weekly sessions and are currently stable for group participation. No active substance dependence requiring primary treatment. Superbills available on request for out-of-network reimbursement.
Clinical structure. A curriculum that moves forward rather than circling. The goal is to understand your story in a new way and leave with something usable -- not just to feel heard, though that happens too.
Private pay. Superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement.
Reach out directly. A brief screening call is available before the group starts.
