ADHD Skills Group for Adults
Purity Culture Recovery
Did you know that some people who grew up in purity culture have symptoms that are similar to people who experienced childhood sexual abuse? The impact of a sexually shaming culture can be subtle, but leave deep wounds. This group focuses on the process of leaving purity culture in order to reclaim our bodies and heal from sexual shame and trauma. We are open to people from all genders and religious backgrounds. You may reside in Illinois or any PsyPact state. This will be a process focused, virtual group that runs for for approximately 10 weeks.

Social Anxiety
Social situations can be overwhelming. Particularly with social media and COVID-19, the ways we interact and relate with others have changed like never before. This group aims to process and explore navigating various social environments, interactions, and self- critical thoughts. This group will be suitable for individuals who wish to not only gain support around their fears or concerns, but to also discuss methods of coping together with other individuals in the group. We are open to people from all genders and ages. However, you must reside in Illinois or be willing to commute to Chicago. This will be a process group with short exposure exercises held in-person at the downtown Chicago office and the group will run for approximately 8 weeks. Maximum of 5 clients. BCBS PPO accepted, $80/ session, sliding scale offered.
When
TBD- new group cycle to begin soon. Thursday afternoons.
Where
Downtown Loop Office [25 E Washington St]

This group is for adults wanting to explore their relationship with food, increase connection and kindness toward their body, and gain support in doing so. It is not an Eating Disorder Group, in that it is a broader scope as clients do not have to meet criteria for an eating disorder nor is it recovery-based. Clients who might be a good fit are those who have complicated relationships with food, want to improve their body image, and want to explore how food and body image was modeled or spoken about in their family. There will be some structured information about Intuitive Eating, diet culture, and HAES (Health At Every Size), but it will primarily be discussion-oriented.
Max group size of 8 participants. BCBS PPO accepted, or out of pocket $80/session.
