Adult Group Therapy

COMMUNITY CONNECTION, HEALING, AND GROWTH

One of the most powerful tools for healing is knowing that we’re not alone. Parenting and caretaking children, despite being something that so many of us do, can sometimes feel profoundly isolating. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to, and we can all benefit from the reminder that what we’re feeling is not ours alone to hold.

If you’re looking for the dedicated support of therapy along with the added benefits of community, we may have a group for you! At Ensemble Therapy, we offer rotating counseling group options, so check back often.

Feel more connected to your relationship with yourself, while getting connected to the relationships around you at the same time. Together and on your own, you can strengthen your ability to show up with more understanding and confidence, for you and the ones you care about.

16-Week Adult Group for Executive Functioning & Social Communication

Facilitated by Mary Hadley, M.A., CCC-SLP, trained in executive functioning and neurodiversity-affirming care

Feeling overwhelmed in social settings—or just craving more authentic connection?

You're not alone. Many adults struggle to build meaningful relationships in work, friendship, and family life, especially when executive functioning and communication challenges are at play.

This 16-week group at Ensemble Therapy is designed for adults who want to explore the “why” and “how” behind genuine connection. Rooted in executive functioning research and social communication strategies, this group offers practical support, real insight, and a strong sense of community.

What to Expect:

Each session follows a consistent, supportive structure:

Warm Up: Gentle check-ins, reflection, and grounding
Skill Building: Interactive learning around a weekly theme
Real-Life Application: Practice and discussion that connects to your world

This isn’t about memorizing social scripts. It’s about learning how to trust yourself, communicate in ways that feel right for your brain, and build relationships that don’t require masking or burnout.

Topics We’ll Cover:

Understanding your executive functioning strengths and challenges
Emotional regulation and stress resilience
Authentic, real-world communication tools (no scripts!)
Self-advocacy, boundaries, and confidence in relationships
Reducing masking and increasing self-acceptance
Metacognitive strategies (“thinking about your thinking”)
Reducing loneliness and building a community that fits you

CHILD-PARENT RELATIONSHIP TRAINING

Facilitated by Rachel Esparza, LPC

It’s natural to struggle with your role as a parent or caregiver, and so many of those struggles can come from a sense of miscommunication that can feel frustrating or exasperating. Why does it feel like we’re snapping more often when we wish we were laughing, or nagging when we feel like we’ve already said what we mean?

Sometimes as caregivers we can find ourselves saying the same things over and over without any changes, wondering if we’re even speaking the same language as the child in front of us. Sometimes we aren’t!

Child-Parent Relationship Therapy offers new ways of caregiving to interpret what gets lost in translation, giving you tools to strengthen your relationship with your child, understand where they are coming from, feel understood, and regain a sense of closeness.

The key? Give your children what they need most: YOU!

Learn tools that allow you to focus on what is going well in your relationship with your child and collaborate on your strengths together to build a bond you’re proud of.

In this 10 week group setting, you will learn skills and strategies to help you:

Feel confident in how to communicate with your child with acceptance and understanding, while also communicating your own experiences and needs
Become more receptive to your child’s feelings and develop more realistic expectations for their development and behavior
Understand how to respond to your child’s emotional needs with greater effectiveness and ease
Implement more effective discipline strategies, limit inappropriate behavior, and regain control without using aversive discipline strategies
Shift your family’s interactional system to one that is more positive, functional, and proactive

In 10 weeks, caregivers report their own learning resulting in their child feeling empowered to:

Better understand and be able to communicate their feelings and needs more effectively
Accept themselves more completely by feeling secure in their own independence and your shared attachment bond
Gain mastery, solve problems, and learn to be responsible for their own actions
Change maladaptive behaviors to more proactive ones because there’s less need to act out to get their needs met
Become more interpersonally competent and gain a greater sense of empathy and awareness

The Caregiver Collective

19-Week Caregiver Support Group

Facilitated by Kristen Rudd and Emily Lucas, Graduate Student Interns
Supervised by Rebekah Hess, LPC, RPT, EMDR-Trained

Caregiving can be one of the most meaningful roles we hold– and also one of the heaviest. You love deeply. You show up constantly. You carry logistics, emotions, appointments, school emails, medical concerns, behavioral challenges, and the invisible mental load that rarely shuts off.

And yet, so many caregivers are quietly asking: Why does this feel so lonely? Why am I so tired? Why does everyone else seem to be handling this better than I am?

The truth is, you are not failing. You are carrying a lot, and you’re not alone. We understand because we’ve been there too.

The Caregiver Collective is a therapist-facilitated process group designed to offer you something many caregivers rarely receive: space. Space to exhale. Space to be honest. Space to be supported–not because you are falling apart, but because you are human.

This open, ongoing virtual group meets on Fridays and provides a consistent community where caregivers can show up as people first, not just in their roles.

In This Group, We Will:

Build meaningful community with others who understand the caregiving experience
Validate the complexity and emotional toll of the role
Create space to process joy, stress, grief, frustration, and exhaustion
Practice sustainable self-care and nervous system regulation
Explore boundaries, identity, and resilience during challenging times

Caregiving can be isolating, especially in the current climate where expectations feel high and support can feel scarce. In this group, you do not have to “have it all together.” You do not have to present a polished version of yourself. You are welcome to bring the “messy middle” with all of the questions, the doubts, the weariness, and the hope.

Healing happens in connection. When caregivers feel supported and resourced, it ripples outward into their families and communities.

Who Is This For?

This group is open to adult caregivers of children in all seasons of caregiving: parents, foster parents, kinship caregivers, guardians, and those caring for children with emotional, developmental, medical, or behavioral needs. You do not have to be in crisis to attend. You simply have to be carrying the weight of caring for someone else.

What to Expect:

This is a process-oriented therapy group, meaning each session is shaped by what members bring into the space. Facilitators provide gentle structure, clinical support, and guidance, while honoring the organic nature of group connection. Participation looks different for everyone. You are always in control of how much you share.
