The Thrive Program
“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Our approach is different

You may have heard of traditional peer support groups which offer a space for people to give and receive support from others going through the same thing. You may also know about group therapy for diagnosed conditions like addiction or depression.
The Thrive Program combines aspects of both—the power of peer support with expert facilitation by a licensed mental health clinician or a specialized coach.
The Thrive Program is for everyone. Find the group that fits you the most! We will help you.

Loved Ones Thrive Group
Group for the loved ones of addicts and depressed. In this group we speak about how to set and maintain boundaries, how to communicate, and practice self-respect. We also explore the differences between helping and enabling and how to create a happy life despite painful circumstances. Thriving is always possible.
Group Leader: Anna Dobos
Frequently asked questions
Members share core commonalities like life experiences, areas of interest (ex: Parenting issues, challenges of being a loved one of someone suffering from addiction etc.)
After a Thrive Group is formed, it’s closed to new members. All members commit to meeting for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, groups may continue on.
We will also work on issues, related to the theme of the group. Our goal is to help you thrive in your life despite the circumstances.
- A safe and confidential space to share and talk
- Skills you can use in your life
- Connection with others
- Empowerment in your life
- Being heard and seen
- Learning how to face tough times
By talking about your emotions and what’s going on in your life, you’ll realize that you’re not alone and get ideas for how to improve your situation.
12 weeks commitments give groups time to connect at their own pace, and then plenty of time to dig into their real authentic selves.
If you want to talk about group experiences to others outside of the group, we ask that you focus just on your experiences.
Don’t tell others’ stories, even in an anonymous way. If you have additional questions about confidentiality, feel free to ask us.
