Counseling Support Groups

​

New groups!

I am currently gathering interest for the following groups. If you would like to come to multiple groups per week, great! For any current clients, or new clients through October, you can come to as many groups as you want per week for one fee!

​

Processing Groups (all times are in Pacific Standard Time)

Rainbow Heads (neurodiversity group): Mondays, 12:30-2, adults (currently active and open)

Neurodivergent Teens: Wednesdays, 4-5, 8th grade - high school (open for new members, starting in October)

Women and Nobinary Processing Group: Wednesdays 12:30-2, adults (open for new members, starting in October)

* I will add more of these groups on Thursdays, as needs arise*

​

Psychoeducation/Support Groups

Healing from Domestic Violence for Men + Nonbinary: Wednesdays, 2:30-4, starting October 11th

Healing from Domestic Violence for Women + Nonbinary:  (open for scheduling new cohort)

​

If you are interested in any of these groups, please either send me an email at counselor@katemageau.com or schedule a consultation with me.  

​

Are you unsure if your situation qualifies as domestic violence? If you are even questioning it, then the answer is likely yes. Also know that emotional abuse counts. To learn more, watch my presentation I did for NAMI or check out my books. Or, start by attending an Empowered Dating Workshop.

​

Processing Group structure (Rainbow Heads and Women and Nonbinary Processing Group)

In process groups, we will come together to talk about our experiences. This group will have a loose structure, giving us space and time to let conversations flow naturally for us and for us to support one another. As the group facilitator, I will bring us together, suggest conversation topics, and keep the conversation flowing. Processing groups will meet indefinitely, and be open for new people to join.

 

Rainbow Heads/Neurodiversity Groups: We discuss our experiences relating to being Autistic and ADHD, such as masking, having conversations with neurotypical people, diagnoses, and medication, and whatever feels important to us! There is a group for adults and a group for youth. Check out neurodiversity books!

​

Women and Nonbinary: We will discuss anything related to being our lives, and being women and nonbinary! 

​

Psychoeducation/ Support Group structure (Healing from DV groups)

In group counseling support groups, I will present education on a weekly topic. Then, the group will discuss the topic and feelings on that topic. The idea of these groups is that we learn to feel comfortable talking about our feelings, saying what's on our mind, and practicing communication skills such as vulnerability and boundary settings. The idea is that practicing these skills translates to feeling more confident using them in daily lives. Psychoeducation groups will be 8 weeks long.

 

As it feels useful, I will then present an exercise to do as a group and/or homework for further learning and processing, related to that group and week's topic. I will likely gather education, exercise, and homework ideas from the counseling theories that guide my practice.

​

Group logistics

When enough people have expressed interest in a counseling group, I will send an email asking for you to book a consultation. In the consultation, we will meet on Google Meet and discuss the details. The aim is for each group to have 4 to 8 people, ideally the same people every week.

​

Group timing

All groups will be held online, on a weekday, and between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm PST. Groups will meet weekly for 90 minutes. Processing groups cost $50 per session; Psychoeducation groups cost $85 per session as they involve more in creating and educating. If the fee is a concern to you, please let me know and we can determine a fee that feels comfortable for you. Current group offerings are for adults, though if you are between 13 and 18 and interested in a group, please send me an email. Adults, and anyone interested in groups should send me an email at counselor@katemageau.com or schedule a consultation.
