Event Overview

Girl Empowerment Group: Cultivating Confidence and Self-Respect


Do you know a young girl who struggles with self-esteem? Do you wish that she had a supportive environment with positive peer relationships and role models? In today's society, girls can face many challenges, impacting their self-confidence and self-worth. This group was designed to provide a fun, supportive, and self-improving environment for young girls. Although considered a therapeutic group, it is developed to help young girls build positive skills through fun and engaging activities. This includes, but is not limited to, art therapy projects and team building exercises. 


This support group will meet on a weekly basis. You do not have to commit to any certain number of sessions. A participant can try it out and sign up as her schedule allows. The cost for the group covers the materials necessary and will be provided by the facilitator. At least 3 participants must be signed up for the group to take place. Each session will include a skill building activity, as well as a designated time for open discussion so that the girls can receive the support they need in that moment. Ideal for ages 10-14 but may also be suitable for other ages. Please message the facilitator for questions regarding the group.

You are always the expert in your life. Therefore, as a counselor, I will meet you where you are at and walk along side of you. A sincere approach with genuine compassion is my upmost priority when working with groups or individuals. I practice from strength-based approaches, such as motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy. I also believe that exploring past and present attachments with others, can help understand our current behavioral patterns. Life is a journey, and it would be my privilege to be a part of yours.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” –Elisaeth Kubler-Ross
