This 6 week in-person therapy group offers a supportive space for adults experiencing burnout, low-self esteem, or emotional overwhelm.

Through a blend of somatic practices and parts work, participants will learn practical tools to soften self-criticism, reduce feelings of shame, and nurture a kinder relationship with themselves

When life feels heavy, our inner critic often grows louder. This group provides a grounded space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your own sense of care, balance, and inner kindness.

Learn to become a better friend to yourself.

Meet your facilitators:

Carla Fisher, BS, BEd, RYT 200

Master’s Level Therapist

“With gentle insight, thoughtful questions, and a steady presence, I will be with you as you find your inner voice - not the one that berates and critiques you - but your wise, compassionate core. 

We often seek support for the crises of life, but attention to the repetitive daily moments and patterns can often be what is most needed, impactful, and deserved.”
