Codependency Resiliency Support Group
Do you struggle with people-pleasing tendencies, setting and maintaining boundaries, or putting others needs and wants before your own? Are you noticing “fixing” and care-giving patterns in your relationships, work, and daily life? Do you find yourself feeling guilty when taking care of yourself?
If so, this group may be for you! In this 10 week support group, learn the tools and skills to manage codependency within your interpersonal relationships, job, your children, partner, family, friends, etc.
Though the pain of codependency may often cause resentment and shame, there are many strengths you have. Learn to integrate your compassion and caring nature, with ways to move forward and grow.
Resources, tools, handouts will be provided as well as a healing and safe space to provide one another with emotional support while navigating this journey.

Support Group for Parents of Kids with ADHD
Parenting is challenging. Parenting a child with ADHD and/or other forms of neurodiversity takes the challenge to a whole other level. Because our children are, by definition, not typical, it’s easy to feel isolated. However, you are not alone.
This group brings together parents of neurodivergent children in a safe, non-judgmental space. Here, no one will ask why you “allow” your child to behave a certain way, or push solutions that may work for typically developing children but don’t work for yours. Your experience will be valued and respected. Your frustrations will be met with resonance empathy, and your triumphs will be celebrated.
The group will offer opportunities to share and commiserate. It will also offer expert guidance, parenting skills, and specific tools to help you and your child thrive together.
- Date/Time: Tuesdays 1:00pm-2:15pm ET
- Location: Meets Online
- Fee: $75 per session/ $1050 for 14 Sessions starting in October 2023
Emily Shapiro, MS, LMFT, will be leading the Parents of Kids with ADHD Support Group.

Support Group for High Achieving First-Generation Teens
Oftentimes, first and second generation teens have to balance the effects of migration (their own or their family’s) and expectations that come from this as they assimilate into their current lives. Academically gifted first and second generation teens are usually praised for exceeding expectations regardless of their environment and circumstances. When this becomes the only important task in their lives, we find that these humans also experience difficulty managing their emotions, interacting with others, developing a sense of self worth and their own values. In this safe and supportive group, teens’ feelings are validated, as they learn tools to develop healthy relationships, explore social skills and process their own feelings and identities separate from their academic excellence.
- For High School Teens
- Date/Time: Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm – 8:15pm ET (4:00 – 5:15pm)
- Location: Meets Online
- Fee: $60 per session/ $600 in total for the 10-week commitment

FAQ
All participants who register for a particular online support group will receive a password protected Zoom link to join the support group from the comfort of their own home at the designated day and time. We ask all participants to keep their videos on during the duration of the group, which can be anywhere from 60-75 minutes, to enhance their sense of connection and build their relationship with other group members and the group leader.
Who do I contact to learn more about the Support Groups?
Send an email to Amanda at supportgroups@bhavatherapygroup.com or call her direct line (551) 579-4053.
What if I want to sign up but can’t commit to attending all of the sessions?
In order to build connections with support group participants, and therefore enhance your experience in the support group, we ask that you do your best to attend every group session. If you have more specific questions, please connect with Amanda at the contact info above.
Can I use my health insurance coverage for the support group fee?
Health insurance is not accepted for support groups. While our support groups are led by licensed mental health clinicians, our support groups are led in a coaching format. This allows our support groups to be virtual and accessible to individuals across the country.
Do I have to be in therapy to join a support group?
No, you do not have to be in therapy to join a support group! Support groups are a safe space to explore your emotions and our groups are oftentimes geared towards a specific age group or topic that you have in common. If you have additional mental health support outside of the group that is great, though it is not a requirement to join a group.
Are payment plans available?
Yes, payment plans are available and can be discussed when you sign up for the group. Depending on each group, 1 or 2 sliding scale spots are also available if the full cost of the group is inaccessible.
