“I just can't sometimes! I want to check out all the time...so,I check out. I know so much about my child, but I don’t know why I get so easily frustrated.”
“I can breathe and regulate, but it doesn’t bring the release I think I need.”
“I need somewhere I can fall apart-that's affordable, make connections, and grow.”
There’s something about hearing someone else put words to what you’ve been feeling. Group coaching brings together people facing similar challenges and creates an environment of shared understanding. That moment of recognition — “Oh, you feel that too?” — helps dissolve shame and isolation, opening the door to healing that can’t happen in silence.
In individual therapy, you focus mainly on your own internal world. In group therapy, that insight expands into real-time relationships. You see yourself more clearly through others’ stories, feedback, and compassion. This creates opportunities to practice new communication, boundary, and emotional skills in a safe, supportive setting — a living laboratory for authentic connection.
Change happens faster when it’s witnessed. Group coaching provides consistent accountability, encouragement, and reflection that help you sustain transformation long after sessions end. When you participate in others’ growth while being supported in your own, you experience a deeper kind of healing — one that’s rooted in shared humanity and connection.
Group is led by Elizabeth Harris, a licensed mental health counselor associate in North Carolina who is also training to be a certified ASD specialist and a provisional registered drama therapist, weaving together evidence-based therapy, the SoulWork Method, and lived experience.
As a person who lives with both diagnosed and undiagnosed neurodivergent minds and who was an adult diagnosed dyslexic learner in mid-life, the facilitator is not looking in from the outside; this is her life, too.
She wants to provide a space for parents to reconnect with themself, their emotional truth, to understand what’s behind the hard moments, and become unstuck
and to heal as you go.
Parenting and Neurodivergency
Meets Sunday, 8:00pm - 9:30pm
1. You realize you’re not alone — and that changes everything.
Parenting, especially when neurodivergence is part of the mix, can feel like living on an island of “no one gets it.” In group, that island becomes a community. You hear your story mirrored in someone else’s words — the late-night worries, the dysregulated mornings, the guilt and grief — and something softens. You feel seen, not judged. You realize there’s belonging here.
2. You learn and practice emotional regulation in real time.
Reading about co-regulation is helpful, but practicing it with others is transformative. Group gives you a safe place to experiment with new communication and connection skills. It helps you notice what happens inside you when your nervous system spikes, and how to calm it with support instead of perfection. Over time, this builds real emotional endurance for both joy and chaos.
3. You grow in ways that ripple through your family.
In group, you’re not just learning to manage your child’s needs — you’re learning to meet your own. You begin to track patterns, release shame, and practice compassion toward yourself. That inner work shifts how you show up at home. It’s not about fixing yourself; it’s about allowing yourself to grow, surrounded by others walking a similar path.
