HOW WE WORK

Through relational, arts-based, and somatic explorations, we will slow down and get curious about our own internal experience.

We will notice the stories we tell ourselves, uncover patterns and limiting beliefs, explore safety and trust, follow creative impulses, learn what it means to take risks, and grow our relational edges.

We draw on Expressive Arts Therapy (ExAT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Nature & Forest Therapy (ANFT), and body-based therapies.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This group is for anyone feeling stuck, disconnected, or longing to feel more alive. Group therapy offers a unique opportunity to explore yourself in relationship with others while receiving the support of a small, consistent community. 

It can also be a more accessible and affordable way to engage in psychotherapy than individual therapy alone.
