About the Group:
The purpose of this group is to bring together adults of the LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and gender expansive) community who have experienced trauma and heal those parts that are feeling divided. By creating community among the group, healing can occur, and one can begin to unify the separate parts of themselves to create a wholeness in their life. Together, we will spend our time exploring your identities and building a more cohesive and unified self through interpersonal and psychodramatic group therapy techniques.
