Find balance, connection, and relief—without the guilt.
If you're nodding your head to any of these, you're in the right place.
Every time you take a moment for yourself, you feel selfish. The weight of resentment makes you feel like a terrible person—even though you're doing your best.
The hobbies you loved—reading, yoga, journaling—feel like distant memories. You can't remember the last time you did something just for you.
Career. Family. Aging parents. There's no space left for you. The constant demands leave you exhausted and wondering how much longer you can keep this up.
Friends without aging parents can't relate. Your siblings don't see how hard this is. You feel isolated—desperately needing someone who truly gets it.
Going from being your parent's child to being their caregiver brings up complex emotions. The shift in family dynamics is harder than you expected.
Without support, caregiver burnout isn't a matter of if—it's a matter of when.
The exhaustion compounds. What feels hard today becomes unbearable.
Resentment grows —toward your parent, your siblings, your situation.
Your health suffers. Stress takes a physical toll.
The relationship you're trying to protect becomes defined by frustration instead of love
Without support, caregiver burnout isn't a matter of if—it's a matter of when.
Our online therapy group, "Caring for Caregivers," is specifically designed for adults navigating the emotional complexities of caring for aging parents—while maintaining their own lives.
Unlike informal support groups where conversations can spiral, our sessions are guided by a licensed therapist who ensures every meeting is:
Professional guidance + peer support = the best of both worlds.
This isn't just venting (though you can do that too). It's about learning practical tools, processing difficult emotions, and building meaningful connections with people who truly understand.
You take an afternoon for yourself and feel calm instead of guilty
You have a community who gets it—people you actually look forward to seeing each week
You set a boundary with a sibling and feel confident, not conflicted
You show up for your parent from a place of love, not obligation

That's exactly why we created this group.
Join from the comfort of your own home. Wednesday evenings, no commute. It may become the most valuable 90 minutes of your week.
Think of it as your time to exhale. You deserve it.
Absolutely. All participants sign a confidentiality agreement.
We use secure video meetings with first names only.
What happens in the group stays in the group—period
Free groups can help, but they lack professional guidance.
Without a therapist, conversations can become repetitive venting—or worse, bad advice from untrained members.
Here, you get evidence-based strategies and emotional safety. You leave with practical tools, not just sympathy.
If you can click a link in an email, you're set.
We send you the link + simple instructions. Leslie's available before Session 1 for any tech questions.
No pressure to share until you're ready.
Many people spend their first sessions just listening—and that's completely okay.
Simply knowing you're not alone can be tremendously valuable.
A brief, relaxed conversation with Leslie.
She'll learn about your situation, answer questions, and make sure the group is a good fit.
No pressure, no obligation. Just a chance to see if this feels right.
Group therapy works best with consistent attendance.
Weeks 1–2: Get comfortable. Weeks 3–4: The real work begins. Weeks 5–6: Transformation takes hold.
After 6 weeks, you can continue if you're finding it helpful.
Both are valuable.
Individual therapy: Deep personal work, but double or triple the price.
This group: Professional guidance plus peer support from people in your exact situation—at $60-75/session.
Some people do both.
Before you join, you'll talk with Leslie to discuss your situation and make sure this is the right fit.
No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation.
The 6-week commitment ensures continuity and time for meaningful change. After that, continue as long as you need—or take what you've learned and move forward.
No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation.
