Navigating Boundaries with Toxic Parents
An adult only support and process-oriented group focused on developing healthier boundaries with toxic parents. Having a parent with mental health and/or personality disorders creates quite a few challenges. The group focuses on creating a supportive environment to share your own challenges and experiences navigating these relationships with others who have also had the same struggles with their parents. The group creates a safe space free of shame and self-doubt often experienced. It also creates an opportunity to learn from each other, gain an understanding of how to navigate these relationships and communicate more effectively, learn how to implement healthier boundaries, and process the inevitable emotional toll of such relationships.

Grief Therapy Group
We have all experienced the pain of grief when losing someone dear to us. However, few know very much about the process of grief. It’s common for many to try and avoid it altogether. We travel down the path of grief alone despite all research indicating that coming together, sharing our experiences and emotions, our challenges, and supporting one another wherever we are in our grief is the healthiest and most successful way to process our loss and pain. In this group, we will gather to process and support one another in grief and provide a safe space to work through this process together. It doesn’t matter if the loss was recent or in the past; if you have not grieved and have not allowed yourself to work through your grief, you may be a good fit for this group.
Group Information
Meets every other Friday at 2:00pm-3:30pm in the GSO office
Participants must be at least 3 months post their loss to participate
Group is designed for adults only
Assessment necessary prior to admittance
Group facilitators: Heather McCain, PsyD & Erin McCarthy, Intern
