At any stage of life, there can be challenges, including issues of loss, loneliness, family or financial worries, and struggle with relationships. Join other women in a weekly group to find comfort, support, and a safe, confidential place to address personal issues in your life. Women joining to support other women in a private, small group can be powerful and sustaining.

 

Kate Culligan, a licensed psychotherapist and group leader with over 30 years of experience, will offer an 8-week group meeting with 6-8 participants. Each prospective group member will privately meet with Kate before joining the group!
