group therapy.
Group therapy at Groundwork Therapy will provide you the opportunity to explore personal issues, develop greater awareness of your feelings and behaviors, and receive support from peers, in a safe and confidential environment.
Groups generally consist of four to eight members and one therapist. Group therapy sessions are 75 minutes in length and meet on a weekly basis.
Our groups require an initial consultation with the group facilitator prior to joining. Groups require a commitment and are not a “drop-in” format.

Led by Hannah Gartner
This group provides an unstructured, supportive space for members to discuss any areas of their lives that they are looking to learn more about, grow in, or heal from. Through connecting and sharing, members are encouraged to explore “in the moment” thoughts, feelings, and reactions as a way to deepen self-awareness and understanding of their interpersonal dynamics. This “here and now” focus also allows members to experiment with new ways of relating and interacting as an opportunity to challenge long-held beliefs about who they are, what is expected of them in relationships, and how they are seen by others.

Gender Exploration Group
Day & Time TBD - Contact us if interested!
Led by Maggie Dunleavy
This group is a space for those who want to dive deeper into their experiences of non-normative gender in a safe and supportive environment. We aim to empower members to share experiences, provide support, and bear witness to the challenges and triumphs of navigating their exploration of gender identity and transition. We welcome those of transgender, non-binary, and genderqueer identities, or anyone questioning where they fall on the spectrum. Topics discussed may include dysphoria, fluidity, navigating/considering medical transition steps, relationships, and cultivating joyful self-expression in a culture that enforces a strict gender binary. Together we will support each other in our journeys towards living authentically in our gender and ourselves.
