Healing Happens in Community: Get Connected to Relational Group Support in Portland, Oregon
(virtual groups available to Washington residents)
Individual support can be a wonderful resource—and, depending on the depth and breadth of your community or support system, navigating things like loss, life transitions, relational wounds, or trauma, can feel isolating and lonely at times.
We believe that support group spaces can be a wonderful source of support for healing and connection to those navigating life stressors, grief, and so much more.
Below is an overview of our current group offerings. If interested in joining one of these group containers, please email hello@kindredholistictherapy.com to schedule a free group consultation and join the interest list.
For Religious Trauma Recovery & Faith Deconstruction
Restorative Writing for Religious Trauma: A 6-Week Writing & Support Group
This group is for you if you're seeking a safe and nurturing space to express your experiences of religious trauma and faith deconstruction through the healing power of expressive writing. But most importantly, this group is for everyone—especially those who don’t consider themselves a writer.
This is a place to connect with like-minded individuals on a journey of rediscovering themselves— allowing doubts, questions, and grief to all belong in community with others.

For Disenfranchised Grief
Navigating Disenfranchised Grief: A 6-Week Writing & Support Group
This group is for you if you're seeking a compassionate and supportive space to express and process experiences of disenfranchised grief—particularly grief that others might not recognize, understand, or validate. This could be related to a friend break-up, the death of a pet, a significant life transition, loss of a job, the impact of the political landscape, climate crisis, and more.
Using writing, small group sharing, and group discussion, you’ll experience an environment of support and a container for your grief process.

For Therapists & Therapists-in-Training
8 Week Support Group for Grad Students (Therapists-in-Training)
This group is intended to be a supportive container while you move through school, explore how you want to show up in your clinical work, and reconnect with who you are outside of it—as a person, not just a student or future therapist.
Together, we’ll unpack things like imposter syndrome, intentional self-care, and the everyday challenges of grad school and internship life while navigating the distress of the current political climate, the strain of capitalism, climate crisis, and more.
8 Week Support Group for Associate Therapists
This group is designed as a supportive container for pre-licensed associates to process the challenges of early-career clinical work. Whether you're wrestling with imposter syndrome, seeking more sustainable self-care, or simply craving community with others who understand the nuances of this phase—you’re not alone.
Together, we’ll hold space for the messy, beautiful, and deeply human process of being a therapist. There will be a mix small breakout groups with larger group discussions to create space for connection, conversation, and support.
