adult female survivors of childhood sexual abuse

About This Group

Mondays, 12:00 - 1:15 pm

Begins March 24, 2026

This support group is a safe and welcoming space for women who have survived childhood sexual abuse. We know that the effects of those experiences can last into adulthood—showing up in feelings of shame, difficulty trusting others, struggles with relationships, or a sense of being alone with your story.

Here, you don’t have to go through it by yourself. Together, we create a space of understanding, respect, and compassion. Through group discussions, supportive practices, and connection with others who have walked a similar path, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Share your experiences at your own pace

  • Learn tools for coping with triggers and overwhelming feelings

  • Build healthier boundaries and relationships

  • Discover strength, resilience, and self-compassion

  • Reduce feelings of isolation by connecting with supportive peers

  • Begin to let go of shame and rediscover self-worth

Our goal is to help you feel less isolated, more supported, and empowered on your healing journey.

teen sexual abuse support group - Support Group

About This Group

Now Accepting New Members!

Next cohort begina end March, 2026

This support group is for teens who have experienced sexual abuse and are looking for a safe and supportive place to heal. Experiencing sexual abuse can leave lasting impacts—like feeling anxious, ashamed, disconnected, or unsure who to trust. Many teens also carry the weight of silence, afraid to share their story or worried about being judged. This group is here to remind you: you are not alone, and healing is possible.

Led by trained facilitators who understand the effects of trauma, the group provides a caring and confidential space where you can:

  • Talk openly (at your own pace) with others who have been through similar experiences

  • Learn practical tools for managing anxiety, flashbacks, and overwhelming feelings

  • Build resilience, confidence, and healthier coping skills

  • Explore healthy boundaries and what safe relationships can look like

  • Reduce feelings of isolation by connecting with supportive peers

  • Begin to let go of shame and rediscover self-worth

Each session includes a balance of discussion, grounding techniques, and activities that encourage healing in a way that feels safe and manageable. Participation is always at your comfort level—you decide how much or how little you want to share.

Our goal is to create a community of support where teens can begin to rebuild trust, strengthen their sense of self, and find hope for the future.

complex trauma survivors - somatic healing for women living with C-PTSD

About This Group

Time and Day TBD

Next cohort starts end of March, early April.

This is a transformative, body-centered therapy group designed for individuals living with the impacts of complex trauma who are ready to heal at a deeper level. Rather than focusing only on talking about what happened, this group gently works with the body—where trauma is often held—to support real, lasting change.

Using somatic trauma therapy, participants learn to reconnect with their bodies in safe and empowering ways, increase nervous system regulation, and restore a sense of internal safety. Through guided practices, shared reflection, and supportive group connection, members build greater emotional resilience, self-trust, and inner strength.

This group offers a compassionate space to move beyond survival mode, reduce trauma-related symptoms, and develop tools that support grounding, empowerment, and healing—both inside and outside the therapy room.

This group may be a good fit if you are seeking to:

  • Heal from complex or developmental trauma

  • Feel safer and more connected in your body

  • Reduce chronic stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm

  • Build healthier boundaries and self-awareness

  • Experience healing in connection with others who understand

You do not have to carry this alone. Healing is possible, and your body can become a source of strength, safety, and wisdom.

Empower, Flourish, Thrive, Survive, it's all possible

Strength is the ability to be vulnerable. Strength is asking for help. Strength is keeping hope when it seems hopeless. Strength is motivation when you have no direction. Strength is choosing to love yourself even when you feel unlovable. Strength is displayed in many ways, but it's the choice to move forward even though it hurts that encompasses internal strength.
