STAYING OPEN ABOUT RECOVERY

Staying Open About Recovery is a supportive therapy group for individuals in eating disorder recovery who want to stay connected to their healing process. This group addresses the ongoing challenges of recovery, including improving body image, building self-esteem, managing distorted thoughts, and replacing maladaptive coping behaviors with healthier alternatives.

Relapse prevention is a key focus, alongside fostering community and accountability. Because recovery is not a linear journey, we believe ongoing connection with others who share similar experiences is essential for long-term success. This group offers a safe space to receive encouragement, gain insight, and continue moving forward in a life free from eating disorder thoughts and behaviors.



ADOLESCENT RECOVERY CIRCLE

Adolescent Recovery Circle is a therapeutic eating disorder recovery group for teens that provides a safe, supportive environment to explore the challenges and successes of healing. Designed specifically for adolescents, this group encourages open conversations about mental health, body image, and self-acceptance in a space where participants feel seen and understood.

Through a mix of guided discussions, creative activities, expressive arts, and peer support, teens develop practical tools to navigate their recovery, build emotional resilience, and strengthen their relationship with food and their bodies. This group empowers adolescents to celebrate progress, foster connection, and embrace a healthier, more confident version of themselves.




ADULT PROCESS GROUP

Adult Process Group is a supportive, intern-led therapy group for adults 18 and older who are seeking a safe space to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationships, life transitions, or mental health challenges, this group offers connection, validation, and encouragement in a welcoming, nonjudgmental setting.

There is no need for a specific diagnosis or concern—this group is open to anyone looking to deepen their self-awareness, improve communication skills, and receive support from others who are also working toward personal growth. Group sessions may include open discussion, guided reflections, and experiential activities to foster insight and emotional processing.

Ideal for individuals seeking general mental health support, this group helps build resilience and reduce isolation through shared experience. All adults are welcome to join and grow in community with others.



BARIATRIC MINDFULNESS GROUP

Bariatric Mindfulness Group is a specialized therapy group for individuals who have undergone or are preparing for bariatric surgery, designed to support long-term emotional and behavioral wellness. This group is an adaptation of Chrysalis Center’s Mindful Living series, blending elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with a focus on the unique experiences of the bariatric community.

Each session explores core DBT modules through the lens of bariatric recovery. Participants learn practical tools to manage emotional eating, cope with body image shifts, and improve emotional resilience throughout the weight loss journey. Mindfulness is at the heart of the group, with an emphasis on intuitive eating, joyful movement, time management for self-care, and reconnecting with the body in compassionate, empowering ways. This group provides a safe, affirming space to process experiences, reduce shame, and build sustainable habits that support both mental and physical health.
