Group Therapy
Groups offered for HSPs, Teens, Older Adults and Grief Support
Sharing a part of our healing journey with others who may have some common experience can help us feel less isolated and offer other avenues for healing through connection and mutually supportive relationships.

About: This is a closed group, facilitated by a Licensed MFT (also an HSP), providing a structured agenda to incorporate education, self-exploration and group sharing. Living and working in a non-HSP world can impact an HSP’s sense of self, well-being, physical health, boundaries, and tolerance for social, family and work activities. HSPs are often default caretakers and confidants. Some feel out of place in their own families, relationships and jobs, often comparing themselves to others, not realizing they may just be hardwired to experience and engage with their environments differently. Many go through life with their filters wide open, pushing and enduring, until they burn out from trying to conform. Join fellow HSPs for safe, mutual support & skills-building to learn how to better navigate life in a non-HSP world and thrive as an HSP.
Group Goals: Increase understanding and acceptance of our Trait; better tune in to our own stimulation levels; tools to modulate our nervous system response; start a foundation for our own unique HSP Operating Manuals; and skills to communicate needs and limits to others. Handouts provided for work between sessions.
