This is a great time to join an established, ongoing, Women's Daytime Therapy Group which has been stable and closed for some time and is in now open for one new member. Women in this group are in their  30-40-50 and 60s, are a mix of sexual orientation, and have had previous therapy or are currently in individual therapy.

 Members in the group are able to share in authentic ways, listen well to each other and are able to learn more about themselves by reflecting on what comes up in the group interactions. This group would be appropriate for women who are involved in personal growth or have done individual therapy currently or in the past.The group would work well for women who want to:

• Overcome obstacles to deeper connection with others
• Lower anxiety or depression
• Get support after a serious loss or change in their life
• Integrate different aspects of themselves such as shyness or aggression
• Pursue personal growth
