Healing in Unity Groups

A Supportive Therapy Group for Black Adults and Adolescents

Healing in Unity is a monthly virtual therapy options for adults (18+) and an in-person option for adolescents (14-17). These groups were created specifically for Black folk seeking connection, healing, and growth in a space where their lived experiences are understood and honored. This group centers Black identity, culture, and resilience while offering practical tools for emotional well-being and community care.

Participants are invited into a supportive environment to explore personal and collective experiences related to stress, identity, relationships, racial trauma, and mental health—without having to explain or justify those experiences.

Who This Group Is For

This group is open to Black adolescents and adults who are looking for a safe, affirming space to:

  • Process stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm

  • Explore identity and cultural experiences

  • Heal from racial trauma and societal pressure

  • Strengthen relationships and communication

  • Build resilience, self-love, and healthy coping strategies

  • Connect with others who share similar lived experiences

No prior group therapy experience is required.

What to Expect

Participants can expect a balance of structure, openness, and community support, including:

  • A brief pre-group interview with a facilitator to set expectations, review group guidelines, and complete any necessary paperwork

  • Facilitated discussions led by a licensed therapist

  • Space to share personal experiences at your own pace

  • Practical tools and strategies for self-care and emotional regulation

  • Support around navigating racial trauma and systemic stressors

  • Opportunities to build connection and community with others

This is a therapy group—not a class—and participation is always voluntary and self-directed.
