Group Therapy
Rising Together: A Queer & Trans Process Group for Political Survival
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, heavy, heartbroken, or just trying to get through the day in the face of everything happening around us, you are not alone.
Rising Together is a virtual space for queer and trans people who want connection and support while navigating the emotional toll of the world we live in.
This is a space for shared reflection and care. Unlike individual therapy, which focuses on your personal story and goals, a process group invites us into something collective. We come together to share, listen, regulate, and witness one another in real time.
We focus on tending to grief, holding complexity, and staying connected to ourselves and each other through the pressures of systemic harm. We make space for anger and numbness, for resistance and rest.
This group is about showing up as you are. Together, we practice staying with what’s real, holding onto hope, and moving through it all without doing it alone.
- When: Wednesdays at 7pm
- Duration: Recurring
- Where: Virtual (link provided upon registration)
- Cost: Sliding scale, pay what you can: $20-$100 per session
If you're needing a space to process, connect, and reclaim your power alongside other queer and trans folks, this group is for you.
