This group is for adult individuals who have recently come out or are finding themselves in the process of exploring and/or embracing their queer identity. As you know, coming out in adulthood has many, unique challenges, like:
Difficulty navigating identity formation and transition
Feeling lonely, anxious, or depressed throughout the process of coming out
Difficulty navigating queer spaces and the pain of feeling that you don’t fit in
Feeling the need to “prove” your sexuality to self or others
Loss and grief of time that could have spent being authentically yourself earlier in life
Complex feelings associated with navigating a “Second Adolescence” and related fears around belonging
Feeling misunderstood or unaccepted by loved ones and society and the shame of being “different”
The pain and tumultuous process of “lying to yourself” or “hiding yourself” throughout life
If you have recently come out or are still questioning and exploring your queer identity, the Queer in Adulthood Group is a space to start to feel seen and empowered.

Hello,
I’m looking forward to helping you get to know your queer self more deeply.
what can i expect from group therapy?
Did you know that research shows that group therapy can be equally as effective as individual therapy? Similarly, there is evidence that for those with marginalized identities, having a group of exclusively individuals who share this identity is more effective than mixed membership groups (Brown & Mistry,) which is why Queer in Adulthood is exclusively for LGBTQIA2S+ folks.
What is Group Therapy?
Group therapy is when a small number of people meet together under the guidance of a therapist to help one another. It provides a place where you come together with others to share problems or concerns, to better understand your own situation, and to learn from each other. Group therapy can help you improve your interpersonal relationships. It addresses feelings of isolation, aloneness, depression and/or anxiety, and helps you to make significant changes to improve the quality of your life. The insights gained in weekly group therapy can support you to have more satisfying relationships, be more comfortable with yourself, with your feelings, with others, and in the other groups in which you participate every day.
Who Can Benefit from Group Therapy?
Like individual therapy, group therapy can benefit almost anyone. Members have the opportunity to discover how they think, why they react the way they do, and understand how they are perceived by others in the group. Members talk about what goes on in their lives outside the group, but also highlight what happens between members in the present moment, providing valuable feedback and learning by witnessing and resonating with each other. Our hope is that group members find healing and an increased ability to make conscious choices that impact how they feel in the moment. This supports members to learn about themselves and take interpersonal risks in the service of living their lives more authentically, more honestly, and more fully emotionally engaged.
