Shared Strength offers in-person group therapy for cancer survivors and caregivers throughout Connecticut.

We all need a village to navigate the tough parts of life, and cancer is pretty tough.

Shared Strength

The shared strength found in community can help.

Shared Strength offers a unique closed group therapy experience, meaning you will be able to build consistent connections with a familiar group of 6 to 8 survivors or caregivers over two to three months, rather than sharing your experience with new individuals each week.

My therapy groups are designed by and for cancer survivors, so you can receive the unique kind of support you need.

If you are interested in joining a group, please reach out using the contact button below and let me know which topics you are most interested in exploring with other cancer survivors and caregivers.

You will be added to a waitlist, and I will reach out when we are ready to begin a group that meets your needs and interests!

Why consider group therapy, rather than individual therapy or a cancer support group?

A therapy group is a shared experience where those who are facing similar challenges can not only sit with each other’s mental, emotional, and physical struggles, but also support their peers by offering insights and suggestions on how to handle certain things, improve coping skills, and/or just be in a room where others have an idea of what someone may be going through.

Joining a group of strangers may sound intimidating but provides unique benefits, especially for cancer survivors and caregivers.

Especially because the cancer journey is unique to each and every one of us, you may feel as if you’re the only one struggling. But you are not alone.

Many are surprised by how rewarding the group experience can be. Groups can act as a support network and a sounding board. Members can benefit from helping you come up with specific ideas for improving a difficult situation or life challenge and hold you accountable along the way.

Diversity is another important benefit. People bring their own unique backgrounds and personalities to common struggles, so they look at situations in different ways. By experiencing this diversity of identities and perspectives – and seeing how different people tackle problems and make positive changes – you can discover a whole range of strategies for facing your own concerns.
