• Trauma recovery

• Inner child healing

Currently Offered Groups:

Roots & Routes: Queer Identity Skills for Living, Healing, and Becoming (Virtual)

Roots & Routes is a 6–12 week structured, skills-based therapeutic group designed for LGBTQ+ individuals who are exploring identity, navigating coming out (or “letting in”), and healing from the impacts of stigma, rejection, or trauma. This group focuses on helping members build internal and relational skills that support safety, agency, emotional regulation, boundaries, and self-affirmation.

Roots & Routes is a structured, skills-based therapeutic group designed to support LGBTQ+ and questioning individuals as they navigate identity development, coming-out decisions, and healing from minority stress or trauma. The group teaches practical tools for emotional regulation, self-compassion, boundary-setting, values-based communication, and embodied self-affirmation. Drawing on trauma-informed care, minority stress and resilience theory, narrative therapy, somatic grounding practices, and dialectical skill-building, the group emphasizes safety, choice, and self-determination while helping participants re-author identity stories and cultivate agency.

Each session follows a consistent format of grounding, brief psychoeducation, guided skill practice, paired or small-group application, and integration. By the end of the group, participants can more clearly name and affirm their identities, make thoughtful and empowered choices about if/when/how to come out, recognize and respond to trauma and internalized stigma, engage in relationships with clearer boundaries and communication, and carry forward a personalized resilience toolkit rooted in self-trust, pride, and belonging.

Strength in Story & Solidarity: A Skills-Based Resilience & Anti-Oppression Group (Virtual)

Strength in Story & Solidarity is a virtual 60 minute 8–12 week, skills-based therapeutic group designed for individuals seeking to strengthen emotional resilience, reconnect with internal sources of power, and heal from the impacts of discrimination, marginalization, and identity-based stress. Rooted in the Resilient Peer Support Model, the group emphasizes shared power, mutual respect, collective witnessing, and practical skill development. Drawing from the social justice counseling framework, the group supports participants in understanding how personal experiences are shaped by systemic forces, shifting the narrative from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What happened to me?” and “How can we reclaim dignity together?” Facilitators guide participants in developing identity-affirming self-understanding, challenging internalized oppression, practicing compassionate boundaries, and learning how to communicate in ways that support safety and agency in relationships, workplaces, families, and community contexts.

Participants in this group will build emotional regulation and grounding strategies, learn to co-regulate with others, strengthen self-compassion and identity affirmation, practice boundary-setting and values-based communication, and explore peer-based solidarity and community care as foundations for resilience. This group is for adults (18+) of any identity background who want practical tools, are navigating or healing from marginalization or discrimination, and value guided skill-building over intensive emotional processing. The approach prioritizes choice, empowerment, cultural humility, and emotional safety, offering space for both personal reflection and collective connection.

Connected & Grounded: Building Relational Skills for Authentic Connection (Virtual)

Connected & Grounded is an 8 to 10 week skills-based relational group designed to help participants strengthen their capacity for authentic connection, emotional presence, mutual support, and relational repair. Rooted in the Relational Center’s community mental health model, this group views emotional challenges as responses to disconnection and systemic pressures rather than personal flaws. The group focuses on helping participants develop clear communication skills, emotional self-awareness, and the confidence to participate in relationships that feel balanced, respectful, and meaningful.

Participants will learn to name and express needs clearly, listen actively and with attunement, use grounding and co-regulation strategies for emotional safety, set boundaries rooted in dignity, and repair misunderstandings without blame or avoidance. These skills are practiced through structured relational exercises, guided peer interaction, and brief educational segments rather than unstructured emotional processing. The group is particularly supportive for adults who want more satisfying relationships, are rebuilding trust in connection, or feel isolated or disconnected in current relationships.

The group meets weekly for 60 minutes. Each session includes a grounding exercise to help participants arrive fully in the space, a short educational piece introducing a relational skill, paired or small-group practice to apply the skill, and a reflection segment to support integration into everyday life. The tone of the group is warm, structured, and collaborative, offering safety while encouraging growth.

Participants leave with practical tools they can use in friendships, partnerships, family relationships, and community spaces, along with an increased sense of connection and relational confidence.
