Groups 
(All groups open to individuals residing in MA, ME, CT, VT & NH)

Ongoing community with other LGBTQIA+ and/or neurodivergent people can make a real difference when you’re navigating a world built around cisgender, heterosexual, and neurotypical expectations. In group, you can share your experiences, hear from others, ask questions, get feedback from the facilitator, and find insight or movement in places where you feel stuck. There’s no pressure to speak, accommodations are available, and all experiences are welcome.

​

All groups are informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and offer a safe space for queer and/or neurodivergent adults, regardless of diagnosis, transition status, or gender presentation. Sessions run 75 minutes unless otherwise noted and include a check-in, group discussion, and exercises shaped by members’ needs.

​

Cost: $50 per session. Insurance is accepted unless otherwise noted, and need-based scholarships are available as space allows.

​

A brief intake interview is required prior to entry into all groups.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Neurodivergent Healing Circle​

20 weeks (over 40 week period)

Every other Monday 6:30-8:00pm

(Enrolling for Fall 2026 to June 2027)

**This is not an insurance based group

​

The IFS group will be an experiential group meeting every other week over a nine month period. 

• Maximum of seven participants.

• Basic knowledge and understanding of the Internal Family Systems model is required. 

• An intake meeting is required prior to acceptance in the group.

• Cost is $100 per group, limited sliding scale spots.​ 

​

Based upon the Creating Healing Circles model developed by IFS Trainer Chris Burris. The group will use experiential meditation, externalization and community to discover and explore beliefs around who we are in the world, understanding that culture and systems are often not attuned to the needs of neurodivergent individuals.  A powerful experiential community, using sculpting, mapping and other forms of externalization for neurodivergent individuals looking to heal shame, shift towards less overwhelm and more confidence.

Groups for Autistic Adults​

Formally diagnosed, self determined and/or exploring (as an adult)

​

Navigating Late-Diagnosis: A Group for Autistic Adults

Psychoeducational and Therapeutic Group,

Enrolling for January 2027 Cohort

8 weeks, Every Tuesday,

5:30pm to 6:45pm  

​

A space for adults who have come to recognize their autistic or neurodivergent identity later in life, to explore what that means and connect with others who share the experience. This group is for anyone newly diagnosed, whether formally or through self-identification, as well as those just beginning to explore whether autism fits their experience.

 

Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming and informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering a gentle way to understand the different parts of ourselves, including the parts that learned to mask, adapt, or cope before we had words for who we are.

​

Navigating Autistic Burnout

Psychoeducational and Therapeutic Group,

Enrolling for January 2027

8 weeks, Every Monday,

5:00pm to 6:15pm  

​

This group follows the eight-module curriculum of The Autistic Burnout Workbook by Dr. Megan Anna Neff. Lisa has completed training in the curriculum with Dr. Neff and receives ongoing clinical supervision from her through Dr. Neff’s Clinical Nook.

​

The group is for autistic and otherwise neurodivergent adults, whether formally diagnosed or self-identified, who want to understand, recover from, and protect themselves against autistic burnout. Sessions take a neurodiversity-affirming approach informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), creating space to work gently with the parts of us that have pushed, masked, and coped for so long.

​

Navigating Late-Diagnosis: A Group for Autistics Autistics, Part 2

Therapeutic Group,

Enrolling for Fall 2026 Cohort

8 weeks, Every Wednesday,  5:00pm-6:15pm

​​

A welcoming IFS informed space for autistic adults (who have completed the first Navigating Late-Diagnosis Group) who are still discovering what being autistic means for them. Whether you were recently diagnosed, self-identified, or are revisiting your identity years later, this is a place to reflect, ask questions, and connect with others on a similar path.

 

Here we talk about unmasking, internalized ableism, understanding our needs, reframing past experiences, and how autism intersects with the other parts of who we are, including gender, sexuality, culture, other neurodivergence, and more. There’s no right pace and no finish line. Come as you are, share as much or as little as you like, and know that you’re not figuring this out alone.

​

NEW!!

AuDHD: Autistic + ADHD Adults

Therapeutic Group,

Enrolling for January 2027 Cohort

8 weeks, Every Wednesday,  5:00pm-6:15pm

​​​

This is a community for adults who are both autistic and ADHD, often called AuDHD. It’s a place to explore what it’s like to live at the intersection of these two neurotypes, where traits sometimes overlap, sometimes amplify each other, and sometimes pull in completely opposite directions.

 

Maybe you crave routine but get bored by it. Maybe you need quiet but also need stimulation to focus. Maybe you’ve felt like you didn’t fully fit in autistic spaces or ADHD spaces, because neither one captured the whole picture. Here, the whole picture is the point.

 

What this group is for:

• Sharing experiences, wins, struggles, and the “wait, you do that too?” moments

• Swapping strategies for daily life, work, relationships, sensory needs, and executive function

• Talking openly about burnout, masking, diagnosis (including late diagnosis), and self-understanding

• Celebrating our strengths, interests, and the ways our brains make sense to us

 

Who it’s for:
Adults who identify as both autistic and ADHD, whether professionally diagnosed, self-identified, or still figuring it out. Questioning? You’re welcome to explore with us.

 

Our values:

• Neurodiversity-affirming. We’re not here to be fixed. We’re here to understand ourselves and support each other.

• Respect for different experiences. No two AuDHD people are the same. Support needs, communication styles, and preferences vary, and all are valid.

• Low pressure. Lurk, post, reply late, info-dump, or show up in the way that supports your energy. All participation styles are welcome.

• Kindness and clear communication. Say what you mean, assume good intent, and ask if something’s unclear.
