IMMIGRATION GROUP
In person | Weekly, Wednesdays, 11:00am-12:30pm | Ongoing/open | 4-5 participants | $200 per session (At this time, this group is FREE for people who are not yet US citizens)
A therapeutic support group for immigrants and long-term international visitors who are experiencing dislocation grief, stress, sadness, loneliness, confusion, anger, and other issues related to acculturation. The group seeks to provide a grounded place to process these experiences with a sense of reciprocity, warmth, and acceptance. Its goals are to help develop a cohesive personal immigration narrative, to reduce isolation, and to help create a new sense of home.
Facilitated by the therapist, each session offers discussions and opportunities for personal reflection and mutual support. Occasional readings will be included, though optional. Participants are invited to explore topics like identity, belonging, regret, stages of immigration, acculturation stress, family dynamics and expectations, grief related to separation or loss, efforts at reparation with and at rejection of the country of origin, and the impact of uncertain or shifting environmental circumstances. The group emphasizes dignity and respect for each person’s story and worldview.

DEATH ANXIETY GROUP
In person | Weekly, Wednesdays, 9am-10:30am | Ongoing/open | 4-5 participants | $200 per session
A therapeutic support group focused on the universal, yet isolating, anguish about death and mortality. In a small, clinician-led setting, with others haunted by similar questions, we will explore fears about death, fear of annihilation, impermanence, attempts at immortality through art, spirituality, religion, or purpose, meaning and meaninglessness, joy and grief. The group integrates short readings, reflective discussion, processing of personal experiences and beliefs about death, and focuses on therapeutic approaches to help members increase tolerance for uncertainty, reduce isolation and avoidance, and cultivate a more grounded relationship to life and to human finitude. All ages are welcome.
WOMEN IN HEALTHCARE GROUP
In person | Monthly, Saturdays, 11:00am-12:30pm | Ongoing/open | 4-5 participants | $200 per session
A therapeutic, support group for women working in healthcare - including physicians, nurses, social workers, hospitalists, and other professionals- to discuss and process the unique emotional demands of healthcare professions. The group will provide a supportive environment to discuss stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, workplace dynamics, boundaries, moral distress, identity as a caregiver, experiences of gendered expectations, grief and loss in clinical settings, and rebuilding resilience and the challenges of balancing professional responsibilities with personal wellbeing. Each session will include reflective discussion, practical coping strategies, and opportunities for mutual support among peers who understand the pressures of healthcare work.
MIDDLE AGE GROUP FOR WOMEN
In person | Twice a month, Saturdays, 9am-10:30am | Ongoing/open | 4-5 participants | $200 per session
An in-person, therapeutic group for women in a developmental stage in which they might sense that something within them is stirring, questioning, or no longer willing to be silent. Often arriving at midlife, this might be a reckoning with old roles, entrenched identities, or dreams deferred or unspoken. In a confidential, clinician-led setting, we will explore the psychological and emotional dimensions of this passage: loss and renewal, grief and vitality, resentment and longing, meaning and purpose. Drawing from depth and existential psychology, the group invites participants to listen to the inner life, to examine old adaptations that may no longer serve, to risk a more authentic relationship to oneself and to others, and to recognize and make personal choices about what is emerging.
