This group is dedicated to fostering meaningful conversations around the complexities of dating in your mid 20s and 30s. Through guided discussions, we will explore topics like dating intentions, patterns in dating, first date anxiety, and societal pressures. This group is a limited 6 week experience where we will meet at the same time once a week to share our experiences in a safe contained space, it is facilitated by two psychotherapists.

Groups offer a refreshing change from the very common experience of loneliness, providing the opportunity to connect deeply with others who are navigating the same challenges and joys of dating in their mid-20s and 30s. This shared experience fosters a sense of belonging and understanding, as participants can openly discuss their experiences, gain insights from each other, and build meaningful relationships within the group. Through these connections, we hope to find support, encouragement, and a renewed sense of community.

This group is for you if:

Dating often leaves you feeling frustrated, discouraged and tired.

• You feel pressured to date in a certain way
• You want a space to reflect and connect with others.
• You’re curious to learn about yourself and how you show up in relationships
