Integrative Perspectives Counseling and Consulting PC is a psychotherapy practice specializing in anxiety, obsessive thinking, and reproductive and attachment-related trauma, including infertility, pregnancy loss, and the transition to pregnancy and parenthood. We provide trauma-informed, nervous-system-based care—integrating EMDR, attachment work, parts work, and polyvagal theory—to help clients feel safer in their bodies, steadier in their minds, and more connected in their lives and relationships.
6-WEEK VIRTUAL PARENT SUPPORT GROUP (children 1-3 years old)
A reflective and experiential support group for parents
Because in the midst of caring for everyone else, there’s a you, too.
There is often a lot of support when a baby first arrives and then it starts to fade. But your child keeps growing and so do you.
You Matter, Too is a six-week small-group experience for parents of children ages 1 to 3. Together, we’ll slow down, talk, reflect, and hear what this stage is really like from other parents who understand.
This isn't about becoming a better parent, it's about having a place to be a person, too.
A SPACE FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
Parenting changes as your child grows.
The questions change. The relationships change. Your routines change. Sometimes you change in ways you didn't expect.
And while there may be plenty of places to find parenting advice, there aren't always many places to simply talk about what it's like to be you in the middle of it all.
That's what this group is for.
A place to pause, to notice, to hear other people's stories, and a place to remember that there isn't one right way to experience this stage of parenthood.
WHAT WE'LL DO TOGETHER
This is an experiential group, which means we won't spend six weeks sitting around talking about parenting in the abstract.
We'll use different ways of exploring the experience, including:
Guided prompts and reflection
Short videos, music, and other experiences
Small-group conversation
Different perspectives and stories
Opportunities to express yourself in different ways
Time to notice what resonates with you
You don't have to have the "right" answer.
You don't have to share everything.
You can listen, talk, wonder, laugh, or simply notice what comes up for you.
Take what is useful and leave what isn't.
A SPACE TO JUST BE
No diagnosis.
No parenting advice.
No fixing.
This is a supportive space for reflection, conversation, and shared experience.
It is not psychotherapy and is not intended to replace individualized mental health care.
If you are looking for therapy or need more individualized support, I'm happy to provide resources and referrals to help you find the right fit.
SAME PARENTS.
DIFFERENT STORIES.
A SHARED SPACE.
You may walk into the group thinking your experience is completely different from everyone else's.
You might be surprised.
Or you might discover that someone else's story is nothing like yours, and still find something meaningful in hearing it.
Connection doesn't require sameness.
And you don't have to know ahead of time what you'll take from the experience.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
You Matter, Too is for parents of children approximately ages 1 to 3 who:
Want a place to connect with other parents
Are curious about their own experience of parenting
Want space to reflect without being given advice
Enjoy hearing different perspectives and stories
Feel like they could use a little more support as their child grows
No diagnosis or previous group experience is needed.
AFTER THE GROUP
What happens after the six weeks is up?
That's up to you.
You may find someone you connect with and want to stay in touch. You may simply appreciate having had this experience for a season.
At the end of the group, participants who would like to exchange contact information can choose to do so.
There is no expectation that the group needs to continue.
Sometimes a space can simply be meaningful while you're in it.

A NOTE ABOUT PRIVACY
Even though this is not therapy, the expectation is that what is shared here stays here.
Creating a respectful and private space gives everyone room to speak honestly, listen openly, and have their own experience.
You are welcome to share what feels comfortable for you.
And other people's stories belong to them.
YOU MATTER, TOO.
You don't have to do this part entirely alone.
If this sounds like a space you'd enjoy being part of, I'd love to have you join us.
$300 for six sessions
