The last few years have been especially challenging for children. And if you've been looking, it's been super hard to find a therapist with openings to help support your child through these times. Kids are navigating higher levels of anxiety, worry and depression than ever before. Dawn Nuding's Art Therapy Support Groups foster the hope and resiliency you are seeking. The power of kids together sharing their stories, learning skills and connecting around their vulnerabilities through art can be truly life changing! Registration for the fall session ends THIS Thursday - Sept 16. Please email Dawn Nuding for more information or to register. dawn@tccmaine.com

Only 3 spots left!!
Join Milja Brecher-DeMuro, LCSW and a small group of female identified people as we will take a deep dive into self-discovery.
Living in a pandemic world is hard. Being an adult is hard. Growing up is HARD. There is no way around it. However, there is a way to move through it with a greater sense of resiliency, common humanity and hope. There is nothing more powerful than a group of humans coming together with shared experience. I would argue that we all have shared experience, regardless of our seemingly significant differences; that for sure is what I have learned from sitting with hundreds of clients over the years; we are all so much more similar than we are different. When we feel seen and heard, we are more buoyant and when we can learn to understand our common humanity, our biology and physiology and learn tools to work with our bodies, hearts and our minds, we will thrive. This is wholehearted living - rather than living in conflict with ourselves, we are living in concert.

Why FEMME CLUTCH?
We are all in this together. You all have wisdom to share and opportunities to grow. We are much more powerful together.
FEMME: Female identified people - anyone who identifies as female
CLUTCH: A group or a bunch - In this case, a group of ally's.

Over the course of 3 months we will meet 6 times to explore for 2 hours a session to share and learn from one another in order to increase self-awareness, self-worth and deepen grounding and connection.
Through podcasts, book excerpts, essays and creative prompts and exercises inspired by various writers, researchers, theorists, spiritual leaders, wise and other thought provoking guides we will explore our own personal experiences and together feel more seen, connected and in line with our own values - leading to greater presence and thriving. Expect to read/listen/be guided by excerpts such as Sonya Renee Taylor, Glennon Doyle, Brené Brown, Kristin Neff, Liz Gilbert, Tarana Burke, Sherri Mitchell, Sarah Blondin, Mary Oliver, Esther Perel and more.
