Group Therapy

Group counseling offers a special benefit that cannot be replicated in other ways.

Communities have healing power. Connecting and sharing one’s own experiences with others who are facing similar challenges can diminish feelings of isolation and shame.

Our groups meet in-person, upstairs in Heart Stone’s Carriage House at 967 Broadway.
We conduct groups on a rotating basis, based on interest.

  • Women's Healing Circle

    Join a supportive 6-week psychoeducational group designed for women who have experienced trauma. In a nurturing space, you'll explore the impact of trauma on the body, mind & spirit, learn to identify triggers and body memories, discuss strategies for overcoming “harmful” coping with compassion and clarity.

    With a creative approach incorporating poetry and narrative work, you'll begin to see your story of struggle and survival in a new light. You will learn grounding techniques and practical tools to help you feel more present, centered, and in control.

    Facilitated by Emily Van Cannon LCPC, LADC

  • Somatic Practices for Emotional Wellness
