Groups

Therapeutic groups offer a unique and powerful path to healing. In a group setting, you're not just receiving support—you’re also giving it. This shared experience fosters connection, deepens understanding, and helps break the isolation that often accompanies struggle.

Our groups are thoughtfully designed and professionally led to create a safe, supportive environment where you can explore personal challenges, build emotional resilience, and gain new perspectives. Group therapy provides a unique space to be seen, heard, and supported.

We currently offer:​

  • Made Visible: Chronic Illness Support- Registration Open

  • Coparenting Together- Postponed to a future date

New groups are developed and offered regularly based on the needs of our community. Each group is facilitated by skilled clinicians who guide the process with care, structure, and sensitivity.

MADE VISIBLE:

A chronic illness peer
support group

 

Facilitated by ERin Cressy, LCSWA

Made Visible is a facilitated *online* peer support group where adults in NC living with chronic illnesses can share their grief, rage, victories, and wisdom with each other. Facilitation focuses on fostering connection and community, diffusing shame and stigma, and finding shared meaning. Group meetings focus on open discussion, with time set aside in each meeting for resource-sharing and education. 

About The Facilitator: Erin is a social worker, therapist, and activist with deep roots in liberation psychology, complex grief, and disability justice. Her clinical and community-based work focuses on the social, emotional, relational, and physical impacts of living with chronic illness in a world that often denies and devalues the needs of disabled people.
