GROUPS
Benefits of Groups
In a group setting, participants have the opportunity to share their personal stories, struggles, and achievements within a safe and confidential environment. The group members actively listen, provide empathy, and offer feedback, creating a supportive network. The group dynamic allows individuals to gain different perspectives, learn from others' experiences, and develop a sense of belonging.
See below for all of our current group options.
Trans and Gender Expansive “Stitch and Bitch” Social Group
Calling all Trans and Gender Expansive crafters! This is a group of people gathering virtually for community and conversation. We provide an online room for people to participate in all types of crafting activities, including but not limited to: crochet, knitting, coloring, painting, stitching, scrap booking, while connecting to members of the Trans and Gender Expansive community. This group is hosted by Alexis Burrow, LPCC-S and Alyssa Massey, LPC, but it is not considered a therapy group. The identified host will encourage sharing from members in a virtual round table but discussion is not required. Individuals have complete freedom to show up late, leave early, bring dinner, leave their cameras off, or even skip sharing.
The group will meet the first and third Tuesday of the Month from 6:00pm-8:00pm
The only requirement for the group is to meet with the host individually before receiving the link for the virtual gathering.

Visual Journaling
Facilitated by Alexis Burrow, LPCC-S
In this 6 week wellness workshop, expressive art therapist Alexis Burrow will facilitate multiple prompts to create the start of your own visual journal. While traditional journaling is a common way of recording and reflecting on the different nuances of our experiences, this group will focus on slowing down our internal dialogue, refraining from negative self-talk, and reflecting on our internal experiences. Although many materials will be provided, please bring any art supplies/journals you wish to use.
This workshop will meet weekly on Thursdays from 6:30pm-8:00pm, at CCW.
Workshops are not covered by insurance. This workshop is "pay what you can" (suggested $10-$50 per session).

Therapeutic Dungeons & Dragons
Facilitated by Alexis Burrow, LPCC-S
Utilization of Tabletop role playing games is a unique way to blend creative and therapeutic exploration. Through the use of collaborative storytelling, we create an immersive process where individuals can work on social-emotional learning, empathy and communication skills. Guided by Therapeutic Game Master Alexis Burrow, MA, LPCC-S, the game becomes a space where one can use metaphor to enable deep self-reflection, foster empowerment and tap into resilience. This experience can creatively navigate the complexities of mental well-being, promote growth, connection, and personal development.
