Growing Through Divorce: A Women's Support Group

“You are not falling apart — you are finding a new way to be whole.”

A supportive space for women navigating divorce and co-parenting — grounded in nervous system science, guided by compassion.


Divorce is one of life’s most profound transitions. It touches your sense of self, your relationships with your children, and your vision for the future. This group offers a structured, trauma-informed space where you can process grief, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with who you are — beyond this season of change.

Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, evidence-based therapeutic practices, and the wisdom of shared experience, each session is thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are and carry you forward.


What the Group Will Cover:

     

1. Nervous System Foundations

Introduction to Polyvagal Theory — understanding your body's stress responses and                         

beginning to build emotional regulation skills that support you through upheaval.   


2. Grief & Loss in Divorce

Honoring what   has ended — exploring the layered grief that comes with divorce,                      

including   loss of identity, partnership, family structure, and future plans. 

      

3. Quieting the Inner Critic

Reducing distress and interrupting negative thought cycles — identifying cognitive    

patterns that keep you stuck and replacing them with grounded,    

compassionate thinking.


4. Co-Parenting with Clarity

Improving communication with your co-parent — practical tools for navigating  

difficult conversations, setting boundaries, and keeping your children's wellbeing at   

the center.  


5. Reclaiming Your Identity

Reconnecting with your values, strengths, and sense of self — rediscovering who you 

are apart from the role of wife or partner, and what truly matters to you now.


6.  Acceptance & Envisioning the Future

Moving forward with intention — practicing acceptance of what is, releasing what 

was, and beginning to vision the life and future you want to create from here.

Friends, Feelings & Me

Lauren Reaves, LCMHC will be facilitating groups designed for two age groups.

  •  Friends, Feelings, & Me is a fun and interactive social skills group designed for children ages 5–8 and 9–12. Through engaging activities, games, role-play, and guided peer interaction, children will build confidence while learning important friendship and communication skills in a supportive environment. 


 This group focuses on helping children:

  •  develop the skills needed to make and maintain age-appropriate friendships 
  •  strengthen verbal and nonverbal communication 
  •  improve problem-solving and conflict resolution skills 
  •  build healthy emotion regulation strategies 

 Children will have opportunities to practice turn-taking, perspective-taking, conversation skills, teamwork, and coping strategies in a way that feels natural and enjoyable. 


 The group is especially beneficial for children diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as children who may benefit from additional support with social interaction, emotional awareness, and peer relationships. Our goal is to create a welcoming space where children can connect, learn, grow, and have fun together.

  • Parents receive a parent notebook with step-by-step instructions and examples
