Connection is not a luxury—it is part of caring for yourself. Even small moments with people who matter can reduce isolation, strengthen resilience, and remind you that you do not have to do this alone.

This photo is from a recent article by CSL about the role pets can play in supporting people living with chronic illness and rare disease. Thank you for highlighting my chapter in More Than a Patient about the advantages of pets when living with chronic health care conditions. ❤️

If you are a young adult living with chronic illness, you may feel like no one your age truly understands what you are carrying. Balancing symptoms, uncertainty, work, relationships, and everyday life can feel overwhelming and lonely.

Tomorrow at 5:00 PM I am beginning a new virtual support group for young adults ages 22–35 living with chronic illness. This therapist-led group offers a supportive space to connect, talk openly, and learn practical strategies for coping and resilience.

You do not have to do this alone.

Chronic illness is not just a medical experience — it is a relational experience.

It shapes friendships, partnerships, caregiving roles, identity, and the way people move through the world.

Today is National Caregivers Awareness Day.

Caregivers are not just supporters — they are emotional anchors, partners in coping, and part of the relational system of chronic illness.

As I share in More Than a Patient:
“Caregiving is not just a role. It is a relationship shaped by resilience, adaptation, and deep connection.”

Two nervous systems. One shared experience.
Caregivers deserve support too.

Many of you know that I have been leading support groups for many years. Research consistently shows the value of peer support, and both professionally and personally, I have seen the meaningful impact that connecting with others can have.

I’m starting a chronic illness support group series for adults, meeting on Mondays beginning March 2nd. Because I’m thoughtful about group composition and aim to bring together like-minded individuals, I wanted to share this information directly with you.

The group will be weekly drop-ins, with no ongoing commitment required. Participants do need to register weekly by confirming via email and submitting payment in advance via Zelle. I will continue to carefully vet all potential group members to ensure a supportive and respectful group environment. Please note that the groups include indivduals who work, work part time, and are unable to work. All are welcome.

The groups will be offered as follows:
• Young Adults (ages 22–35): 5:00–6:00 PM
• Adults 35 and over: 6:00–7:00 PM

The groups will be offered as follows:
• Young Adults (ages 22–35): 5:00–6:00 PM
• Adults 35 and over: 6:00–7:00 PM

Cost is $50.00 per group meeting

If you know someone you believe may be a good fit, feel free to pass this along or reach out to me directly at jodi@joditaubtherapy.com. I have attached the flyers below.

Background and Specialty

I graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Minor in Sociology (1997). I attended Loyola University of Chicago and completed a Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work (2002) and a Post Master's Degree in School Social Work (2004).

Prior to starting my private practice, I have worked in a variety of different settings including both private and public schools, psychiatric hospitals, residential, foster care, and adoption care settings. In 2007, I began my private practice in Chicago and subsequently moved my practice to New York City in 2011.

Because of my 20+ years of extensive field experience, I am capable of treating an array of mental health and emotional issues. I have had the opportunity to work with children and families, as well as adults and couples. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a solution based form of psychotherapy, which helps patients to challenge thought distortions to promote changes in thinking and improvements in perceptions and behaviors. Research has shown that CBT is the most effective form of psychotherapy in treating both anxiety and depression.

In addition to specializing in patients with mood disorders, I am also an expert in coping with chronic illness. Managing chronic illness can be challenging and complex, not only physically but from an emotional perspective. Talk therapy can be an effective way to manage interpersonal relationships, mood issues, and navigating medical decisions.
