About

This low-key support group for young adults offers a soft structure and a soothing environment to help you recharge while letting connection happen naturally at your own pace. Show up exactly as you are—there's no pressure to share, socialize, or perform. Feel free to bring a warm drink, your comfiest clothes, or a quiet activity like knitting, coloring, or journaling to settle in. It’s simply a cozy space designed to support your nervous system and nurture community on your terms.

Don’t have anything to bring? No problem. We have refreshments, snacks, and quiet activities on deck.

 FAQs

  • No, this is a non-clinical support group.

    Group therapy is an active form of clinical treatment led by a licensed professional, whereas a support group focuses on peer connection and shared experiences.

    Participation does not involve diagnosis, treatment planning, or record-keeping.

  • This group is intended for young adults between 18-29 years old.

    Connection isn’t bound by age, yet we believe that similar experiences bring people together. For that reason, we ask that anyone over 30 years old consider whether the unique challenges and life stressors that twentysomethings experience will be relevant to their current circumstances.

  • This group occurs every week. We offer month-to-month registration to encourage participants to attend each week within the month they registered for.

    We believe that consistency and (reasonable) predictability ease social discomfort. By making a month-long commitment, participants can expect at least a few familiar faces week to week. This helps create stronger and more organic connections.

  • Life happens, don’t sweat it. Whether you registered knowing you wouldn’t be able to attend on a specific date or something urgent came up, we simply ask that you let us know as early as you can so we may anticipate your absence.

    Please be advised that fees are nonrefundable.

  • Absolutely! That’s what this group is designed for. As we get older, it can feel harder and harder to find regular spaces with natural opportunities to make new friends.

    If you jive with someone, it’s a perfect chance to ask to follow them on social media or exchange numbers. Fairly low-risk, too — you’re here for the same reason, right?

    While we don’t dictate the types of connections that develop here, please be mindful that this is not a speed dating environment.

  • While we make every effort to keep fees low, there are two primary reasons we charge a fee for this group.

    1. We want to provide snacks, refreshments, access to games, and crafting supplies for your convenience.

    2. We want to show our appreciation to our kind facilitator(s) for their time and the unique skills/experience they bring to the group as a licensed mental health professional.

    If you have feedback or concerns about the costs of attending, please reach out.
