Young Professionals Autism Spectrum Disorders Therapy Support Group

What is a therapy support group? A therapy support group is a group of people with common experiences or life challenges who come together to provide one another with support, encouragement, learning opportunities, guidance, safety, and a sense of belonging.

What will we talk about? Navigating work environments and social environments while struggling to communicate in effective ways can leave a person feeling quite frustrated. Struggling to develop fulfilling connections to others can lead to feeling isolated, disconnected, and alone. This group will support working professionals who struggle to have fulfilling interactions in their work and social lives. Members will discuss daily life challenges with relation to ASD symptoms and learn new and effective communication styles and ways to improve interpersonal effectiveness and relatability. 

What can I expect? As a result of participating in this group, members may experience a deeper sense of belonging and overall deeper connection to themselves and others. While some skills may be taught, this is not a skills group. This is a social support group where members will learn skills, yet also learn how to support one another in a safe and compassionate way.

Surviving and Thriving: A group for female-identified individuals affected by sexual violence**

What is a therapy support group? A therapy support group is a group of people with common experiences or life challenges who come together to provide one another with support, encouragement, learning opportunities, guidance, safety, and a sense of belonging.

What will we talk about? The effects of trauma can last many seasons after the events have occured. It can often be difficult to find other people who can both relate to these experiences and and provide a non-judgemental, compassionate, supportive ear. Together we will discuss how to thrive in a world where the effects of sexual violence impact daily life. This group is open to female-identified individuals who have experienced this type of trauma at some point in life and wish to continue discussing the impacts of it on their lives today. 

What can I expect?

This group will support members in moving towards fully living a life that can both acknowledge and heal the past while creating a vital and fulfilling present and future. The hope is that members will support one another in releasing the shame and guilt that is binding by learning tools to build healthy intimacy and connection with others. This group is appropriate for those who been involved in or are currently in individual therapy to address these experiences.
