COVID Therapy Group

Hosted by

Lauren C Ricciardi

The Covid-19 Pandemic has changed how many of us experience, and live our lives. Four years later, we continue to see individuals experiencing a range of mental health symptoms, including anxiety and depression. This group will help clients to explore loss of loved ones, effects from quarantine life, living losses (ie. lay offs, social isolation, broken relationships, remote work/school) and living with long Covid symptoms and other health challenges. Group members will have space to share, process emotions, learn coping skills and explore long-term self care practices.
