Small Group Therapy

“Going through therapy together”

This clinically-led intervention is facilitated by Jennie MacPhee-Woodburn and follows similar style to individual therapy, with the added benefit of peer validation, shared lived experiences, and collective growth. Groups include 3–5 clients with shared goals and meet twice per month for 75-minute sessions.  

  • Processing later-in-life autistic identity, unpacking internalized ableism, and exploring how autistic identity intersects with other identities.

  • Discussions on neuro-normativity, unpacking internalized stigma or ableism, intersecting identities, and fostering a sense of community with other autistic adults. Group members’ shared understanding of autistic identity serves as the context for connection rather than the primary subject of discussion. 

  • Participants will explore the unique challenges and rewards associated with working in schools as neurodivergent people. Topics may include managing stress and burnout, sensory and executive functioning challenges, masking and authenticity in the workplace, self-advocacy and accommodations, and navigating relationships with colleagues and administrators.

  • Unpacking societal expectations and internalized stigma around attraction and intimacy. Discussing experiences, feelings, curiosity and questions around aromanticism, asexuality, demisexuality, and autisexuality, among others. Participants do not have to identify with any of these labels in order to participate.
