Groups & Workshops

Heal while connecting with others.

Much of our growth happens in community.

Groups offer something different from individual therapy – a shared space where we can see ourselves reflected in others, feel understood, and practice being in connection in new ways.

The design of each group emphasizes providing support for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and relational healing through conversation, mindfulness, and parts work.

The emphasis is on authentic presence rather than doing it right. A space where you can come as you are. The following are some groups currently offered or in the process of being offered.

Heal while connecting with others.

Group Offerings

Mindfulness & Parts Work for Women.

This ongoing virtual group weaves together mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and guided reflection to help women connect more deeply with themselves and one another.

Each session begins with a brief mindfulness practice and group check-in, followed by an experiential exercise or guided reflection. Sessions blend psychoeducation, experiential practices, and partner or small-group discussions, creating space for both learning and meaningful connection.

It’s a small, supportive community where we explore how to integrate mindfulness and parts work into everyday life.

Ongoing virtual sessions meet Mondays at 5:00 PM PST.

Grief & the Heart: Death & Bereavement

Loss changes us, and grief deserves a place to be witnessed.

This group offers a supportive space to process the emotional, spiritual, and relational impact of losing a loved one through guided reflection, mindfulness, and shared dialogue.

Inspired by the work of Francis Weller and Claire Bidwell Smith, we explore grief as a natural expression of love and the continuing bonds we carry with those we’ve lost.

There is no timeline or “right” way to grieve, only the opportunity to be supported by others who understand the complexity of loss.

Join the waitlist for future group dates.

Grief & the Heart Death & Bereavement

Grief & the Heart: Life Transitions & Invisible Losses

Not all grief results from death. Sometimes it’s the loss of a relationship, a dream, a role, or a version of ourselves. These losses are often unseen but deeply felt – what Francis Weller calls the sorrows of everyday life.

This circle creates room to acknowledge and explore these experiences – the changing of identity, the end of a chapter, the ache of what might have been.

Through mindfulness, reflection, and conversation, we bring awareness and compassion to the inner landscapes shaped by change.

Grief & the Heart Life Transitions & Invisible Losses

Why do groups work?

Something meaningful happens in a group setting: we begin to remember that growth occurs through connection.

Sharing our inner experience in the presence of others can restore a sense of belonging that grief or disconnection may have disrupted.

These circles are small and intentionally paced, providing a space for quiet reflection and genuine relationships.

Now more than ever, men, good men should consider standing next to powerful women and say “YES, I seek therapy!”

I don’t know if I am a good man, but I want to be better, and I want to do better. Life can be challenging, painful, confusing, and lonely at times. But no one has to do it alone. I am grateful that I found Cathy and to be able to go to her for guidance.

Cathy is a patient, kind, compassionate, understanding, and empathetic professional who feels like a supportive and knowledgeable teammate. She does not make me feel less or more — just that this is what’s happening and I can overcome — and she helps me feel seen and heard.

I never feel judged and I feel safe to tell her everything —literally everything, knowing she will help me ground and reflect. I do not want to stagnate if I am stuck in patterns and I do not want to be validated for unrealistic thought processes. Her approach is balanced and I can tell that she truly cares.

Thank you Cathy!

With an incredibly calm and grounding presence, Cathy gently guides you through an exploration of the many parts of ourselves that shape who we are. She creates a space that feels safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental, making it easier to be honest and open. Through her caring approach and thoughtfully timed questions, Cathy helps you gain insight into patterns, emotions, and inner parts you may have been unconsciously repressing. Her guidance allows for deeper self-understanding, compassion, and meaningful personal growth. I’m so grateful for my sessions with Cathy and I recommend her to anyone looking to gain a deeper sense of personal exploration and self-understanding.

Cathy is an incredible therapist with a rare capacity to listen deeply, hold compassion, and gently untangle what feels complex.

My IFS (Internal Family Systems) session with her felt like an invitation to meet parts of myself with curiosity and tenderness. Through subtle visual and sensory cues, she guided me into what felt almost like a light hypnotic state, where everything became clearer and more connected.
It’s rare in therapy to move beyond the mind and truly reconnect with the heart and body. With Cathy, that shift happened naturally.

I’m deeply grateful for the experience and highly recommend working with her to anyone seeking meaningful, inner work.

Cathy is a wonderful therapist and an equally wonderful human being. We first met her when she joined one of our immersive tours, and her warmth and gentle presence were instantly noticeable. She carries that same energy into her work as a therapist deeply compassionate, grounded, and truly supportive.

Her approach helps you feel safe, understood, and cared for. If you’re looking for a therapist who leads with both heart and wisdom, Cathy is someone we would genuinely recommend. 🫶🏻

I had such a powerful session with Cathy. She guided me through the Internal Family Systems approach and helped me uncover and understand things from my past that I didn’t fully see before. The session was deeply transformative, and I felt so relieved and liberated afterwards. I highly recommend working with her

Cathy is kind, skilled, intentional, and very approachable 😊. I especially like how she sometimes takes a moment to respond. It's those little thoughtful touches that give her own Cathy flair to her practice that I appreciate.

We hosted a couple of lovely community gatherings together about romantic relationships and grief and she was a pleasure to work with. She did a great job holding the room and bringing skilled professionalism to our gathering. The participants seemed to really value her input and helpful suggestions too 😊.

Thanks Cathy!
