Group therapy provides benefits that individual therapy may not. Many individuals find that they are often surprised by how rewarding the group experience can be.

Regularly talking and listening to others also helps you put your own problems in perspective. While group members are a valuable source of support, formal group therapy sessions offer benefits beyond informal self-help and support groups by providing information, universality, and the instillation of hope.

Nurture Therapy runs several different groups. Please reach out to learn more about the groups running at this time.

The Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Group will be weekly, 1 hour support groups for female-identified parents that have experienced a pregnancy or infant loss at any time. Facilitators will guide you through a series of topics and provide you the opportunity to process and connect with others.
