Grief, without the timeline — a 4-week group for understanding loss and living forward

Led by licensed therapists & mindfulness instructors:
Kristy Joy Weidner | LCSW, CCTP | Clinical Director | Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Certified Clinical Trauma Professional
Emily Spirk: LAPC, MSCP, M.Ed. | She/Her

This virtual grief group offers a steady, supportive space to understand what you’re carrying, make room for the full range of emotions that come with loss, and build practical tools for navigating the days that feel heavier than others.

Together, we’ll explore what grief actually looks like, how it lives in the body and nervous system, and how to carry loss forward without rushing yourself to “move on.” You’ll leave with language for what you’re experiencing, simple regulation tools you can use in real life, and connections to resources that support you beyond the group.

This is a space to show up as you are — no fixing, no pressure, just honest support and steadier ground to stand on.

Secure Connection

A 5-Week Therapy Group for Adult Relationships

Led by licensed therapists & mindfulness instructors:
Kristy Joy Weidner | LCSW, CCTP | Clinical Director | Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Certified Clinical Trauma Professional
Emily Spirk: LAPC, MSCP, M.Ed. | She/Her

If relationships feel harder than they “should,” you’re not broken — your nervous system is doing its best to protect you.

This 5-week therapy group helps adults understand why they react the way they do in relationships and learn practical, evidence-based tools to build more secure, connected, and regulated relationships. We’ll explore attachment patterns, protective parts, nervous system responses, and communication skills that actually work in real life.

This group is grounded in modern relationship science and therapy models (Attachment Theory, IFS, polyvagal-informed care, and Gottman research) and is neuro-affirming and welcoming to autistic and ADHD adults.

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand your relationship patterns

• Recognize protective parts that show up in conflict

• Regulate your nervous system during emotional moments

• Communicate needs more clearly

• Practice repair and build more secure connection

This group is supportive, structured, and skills-based — focused on helping you move from stuck patterns into more grounded, connected relationships. This is a neuroaffirming group.
