My groups meet virtually for safety, easier access, and convenience.

        
      Mid-Life Women’s Groups
     

                                Group offers a valuable opportunity to deepen your relationship with yourself and others,                                       while gaining greater awareness of your interpersonal patterns. The women in this group are midlife or older, emotionally mature, and openly share perspectives with one another.    
     Topics that surface include changing relationships, growth related to life stages, the experience of being single
or coupled, aging/loss of parents, career/retirement issues,  boundaries with family and friends, 
and sense of self as a woman in the second half of life.

     Often, group becomes a valued touchstone – and a place to have meaningful conversations that may be missing elsewhere in life.  Each member shares at her own pace.    

​      We invite new members as openings become available. It’s a welcoming group;
new members often feel more comfortable than expected. A prospective member is required to have three individual assessment sessions with Ellen prior to group membership.
