We often think we’re alone in what we’re going through, but we’re not. As a therapist, I’ve seen just how many people struggle with similar challenges — whether it’s letting go of something or someone, facing challenges and doubts about living abroad, or navigating relationships in times of change. These in-person support groups are a confidential and compassionate space to share, reflect, and meet others who are also seeking understanding and a sense of togetherness. Whether you want to share or prefer to listen, you’re welcome here.
