Small, clinically led therapy groups for adults navigating anxiety, eating concerns, big emotions, life transitions, and the work of reconnecting with yourself. You are always in a room with people who understand.
Free 15-minute consultation. No pressure, no obligation. We will help you find the right group for where you are.
Some things are hard to move through alone.
A group gives you structure, shared experience, and people walking the same road at the same time. Every group at Resilient Self is led by Chandra and built around a specific need, so the support actually fits what you are facing.
Support that individual sessions cannot offer on their own
Group therapy adds something one-on-one work cannot: the relief of realizing you are not the only one, the encouragement of people cheering you on, and a structure that keeps you moving forward week to week. Research consistently shows group support is as effective as individual therapy for many concerns, and for some people the connection is exactly what makes the difference.
Every Resilient Self group is small, clinically held, and led personally by Chandra. Whether the work happens through conversation, skills practice, or movement, the goal is the same: real progress in a space where you feel understood.
What to expect
Start With A Free Consultation
A relaxed 15-minute conversation about what you are navigating. Chandra helps you understand which group is the right fit, with no pressure to commit.
Join A Group Built Around Your Need
Each group is small and focused, so you are with people working on something similar. Chandra draws from DBT, schema therapy, CBT, talk therapy, and dance movement therapy, meeting each group with what fits, not a single formula.
Leave With Tools That Travel
The aim is independence, not dependence. You build skills you can use on your own: self-awareness, regulation, and connection that keep working long after the group ends.
You may be a good fit if…
- You are navigating anxiety, depression, an eating concern, intense emotions, grief, or a life transition, and want support alongside others
- You want structure and accountability, not just a place to talk
- You value community and want to heal in connection with people who understand
- You connect with movement or body awareness as part of how you process experience (for the movement-based groups)
- You want a therapist who treats you as a whole person, not a diagnosis
- You are looking for a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish)
A free 15-minute consultation is the easiest place to start. Chandra will help you find the group that fits where you are.
Each group is led by Chandra and built around a specific need
Browse the groups below. Some run as fixed-length cohorts with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Others meet on an ongoing basis so you can join when you are ready. Every group begins with a short consultation so Chandra can make sure you are placed where you will get the most out of it.
Women’s Circle For Self-Care
A women-only monthly community built on connection and encouragement. Women showing up for themselves by showing up for each other, in a clinically held space. This group meets monthly on an ongoing basis, so you can join without waiting for a new cycle to start.
Dance Movement Therapy Group
A body-centered group for adults who want to add movement to their healing. Movement is used as a therapeutic tool to access and process what words alone may not reach. No dance experience needed, and this is not a fitness class. Open to all adults.
Make Peace with Food and Love Your Body Group

Drawing from evidence-based clinical approaches and The Body Positive curriculum, this group supports disordered eating patterns, body image, and food anxiety in a safe, shame-free space.
Eating Disorder Group for Adults
Led by a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, this group offers a therapeutic community for adults navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, and food and body image anxiety. Clinical and compassionate in equal measure.
DBT Skills Group
A comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy group covering the four core skill modules: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Designed for adults who want lasting, transferable tools.
Living for Today — Seniors Group
A therapeutic community for older adults navigating grief, bereavement, and the losses that come with later life. A space to be heard, to process, and to find connection with others who understand.
Every group begins with a quick fit conversation, so you are placed where you will get the most out of it. All groups need a minimum of 4 participants to run. Call (949) 215-0612 or fill out this form to discuss current availability and start dates.
