Motherhood Is Beautiful—and Hard. You Don’t Have to Do It Alone.

Becoming a mother can feel like being cracked wide open. In a world that rarely pauses, that’s a lot to carry.

This virtual group therapy for new moms offers space for real talk, grounded support, and compassionate connection. Together, we’ll untangle the beautiful, bewildering, and exhausting parts of early motherhood—with honesty, humor, and heart.

What to Expect

A supportive, clinically facilitated group for new mothers to:

• Connect with others navigating similar challenges
• Reflect on identity, loss, love, and major life transitions
• Build tools to cope with overwhelm and emotional fatigue
• Share experiences without judgment
• Find grounding through shared stories and supportive dialogue

All in a space that welcomes your full, unfiltered self.

Why Choose a Group?

Group therapy for postpartum mental health is powerful:

• Reduces isolation through connection with other moms
• Builds confidence as you witness each other’s growth
• Fosters resilience through honest conversation
• More cost-effective than individual therapy while still offering expert clinical guidance

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, adjusting to new routines, or simply seeking validation—this group is for you.

Midday Mindfulness for Overthinkers, High Performers & Real Humans

If your brain never shuts off—thinking about work, emails, or life’s never-ending to-do list—you’re not alone. This weekly online mindfulness group for professionals offers a reset. It’s based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) framework, but tailored for real-world stress, full schedules, and a healthy skepticism of toxic positivity.

This isn’t a wellness influencer event.
It’s a breath of fresh air—for your nervous system, your mind, and your lunch break.

Who This Group Is For

Designed for professionals, caregivers, high achievers, and chronic overthinkers, this group is perfect if you:

• Struggle to disconnect from work, even off the clock
• Lie awake at 3 a.m. replying to emails or conversations
• Crave a grounded space to breathe, slow down, and be present
• Are skeptical of “one-size-fits-all” wellness but open to real support

Whether you’re in tech, healthcare, education, law, nonprofit work—or just juggling way too much—this is for you.

What to Expect

Each 75-minute weekly session includes:

• 🧘 A short guided mindfulness practice
• 📚 A brief teaching grounded in MBSR, neuroscience, and practical stress reduction
• 💬 Group discussion (sharing optional; listening is enough)
• 📝 Optional take-home practices and reflections (no pressure, no grades)

Minimal assignments. No performance reviews. No pressure to achieve enlightenment.

Why Mindfulness?

Research shows that regular mindfulness practice can:

• Reduce chronic stress and workplace burnout
• Improve emotional regulation and mental clarity
• Support better sleep and decision-making
• Help quiet racing thoughts and repetitive worry

This group blends evidence-based mindfulness with clinical insight, humor, and respect for your time.
