New Moon
Therapy Group
for Women
The new moon has long been associated with the experience of women, and is often thought of as a resting period, a time for quiet reflection and planting seeds of intention.
In my work with women of all ages, I am often struck by how difficult it can be to balance care for self with care for others, connection with your own needs and boundaries weighed against maintaining relationships - especially as we pass through life stages when our friendships and needs change. I look forward to supporting a beautiful group of women to increase relational capacity, foster authenticity, and reduce isolation in your lives.
"Be both soft and wild. Just like the moon."
—Victoria Erickson
In the New Moon Group, we will meet monthly on or near the new moon, to reflect on patterns of connection and disconnection, and understand these within sociocultural contexts. We will drink tea, and I will offer new ways of understanding these patterns, drawn from Feminist counselling and systems theory.
This is an online therapy group, so join us from the comfort of your home, just the way you are.

Benefits of group therapy

get to know yourself better, and be kind to yourself as you learn
-
feel relief from worry and tension
-
help others feel less alone by sharing your stories and experiences

receive support, empathy, understanding, and tools to meet those hard days.

About Us
Hi, we are Andrea (M.Ed., pre-certified counsellor) and Zoë (M.Ed., RCC, CCC). We are two moms who met at Simon Fraser University's Counselling Psychology graduate program, and now live in Alberta and BC, respectively. When not parenting and counselling, Andrea can be found doing yoga and FaceTiming with friends, and Zoë can be found hiking in the forest and reading trashy fiction.
We believe that all mothers are strong warriors who do their best to meet each new challenge with love, fortitude, and courage. And because that can be exhausting, we also believe that we all deserve support, community, and a place to belong.
We are excited to give you that.
