Group Therapy & Workshops

Growth through Community

Group therapy and workshops provide a unique opportunity to connect with others in a supportive environment while exploring shared challenges and learning new skills. By participating in a group setting, you gain fresh perspectives, build a sense of belonging, and discover that you are not alone in your journey.

At ChiokanTherapy, our group offerings are designed to foster connection, mutual support, and respect. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or life transitions, group therapy and workshops offer a dynamic process for healing and self-discovery.

Current Group Therapy Offerings

  • Adult Children of Alcoholics

    Schedule: Tuesdays 6:30 P.M. - 8 P.M.
    Location: Virtually via Zoom
    Fee: $80/session
    Facilitator: Aleksandra Zukoff

    Open to adults (21+) with one or more parent suffering from alcoholism, while having no active addictions of their own.

    Growing up in a home with a parent battling alcoholism can perpetuate a sense of unpredictability, feeling overshadowed by their addiction, and yearning for a more stereotypical childhood. This often results in children shouldering shame and responsibility, feeling isolated and downplaying their needs in order to cope. Suppressed emotions like sadness, fear, and anger may resurface in adulthood, interfering in relationships with others. 

    As an adult, your safety is no longer dependent on the same parent. This group aims to support you in learning to identify and let more emotionally available people into your life. In group therapy you can explore ways to establish better boundaries to find and protect a sense of inner peace.

  • Honoring Our Grief: Survivors of Suicide Loss

    Schedule: Saturdays 10:30am - 12:00pm
    Location: Virtually via Zoom
    Fee: $70/session
    Facilitator: Angely M Paulino

    Open to adults (18+) who have lost someone to suicide and can commit to attending all sessions.

    Losing someone to suicide is a deeply personal and complex experience that brings a unique path of grief. Many of us are left with a sense of unfinished conversations, unspoken words, and questions that may never have answers. You have likely found yourself revisiting memories, second-guessing moments, and feeling disconnected from those who haven’t shared a similar experience.

    This group aims to offer a compassionate space to help you navigate your grief, share your story, and connect with others who have faced a similar loss. Together, we will honor the memories of those we’ve lost as we work towards embracing both the grief we carry and the possibility of healing.
