Group Therapy at Uncomfortably Comfy

Connection, community, and skills for real life—especially when life feels… uncomfortably comfy.

Jennifer French MA, LMFT

Now Enrolling — Spring 2026 Therapy Groups

We’re now enrolling for two supportive, skills-focused groups beginning in late February and early March. Groups are intentionally small to support safety, connection, and meaningful change.

Teen Skills & Support Group (Emotion Regulation + Confidence)

DBT-informed + Mindfulness informed | Weekly for 8 sessions

If anxiety, overwhelm, shutdown, or big emotions have been taking up too much space, this group offers a steady place to learn practical tools and practice them with support. Teens will build skills for managing worry, emotion intensity, stress at school, and relationship challenges—without shame.

Schedule

  • Day/Time: Fridays, 3:00–4:30 PM

  • Start: Fri Feb 27, 2026

  • End: Fri Apr 17, 2026

  • Length: 8 weekly sessions

Parents of Neurodivergent Kids & Teens Group

Neuro-affirming support + practical tools | Weekly for 8 sessions

Parenting neurodivergent kids and teens can be both deeply meaningful and deeply exhausting. This group is a validating, neuro-affirming space for caregivers who want support and strategies that actually help—especially around regulation, routines, school stress, meltdowns/shutdowns, and caregiver burnout.

Schedule

  • Day/Time: Tuesdays, 4:30–6:00 PM

  • Start: Tue Mar 3, 2026

  • End: Tue Apr 21, 2026

  • Length: 8 weekly sessions

Why Group Therapy Works

At Uncomfortably Comfy, our therapy groups are designed to be warm, inclusive, and real. We bring together parents, teens, and adults—many of whom are neurodivergent—to learn practical skills, support each other, and celebrate wins in a safe, therapist-led space.


Group therapy isn’t “second best” to individual therapy—it’s a powerful, research-supported way to heal and grow. In group, people can:

  • Practice skills in real-time with others

  • Feel less alone and less “weird”

  • Get feedback and support from peers who actually get it

  • Build confidence in relationships and communication

Research shows that group therapy can be as effective as individual therapy for many concerns, including anxiety and depression, and is particularly helpful for building social and interpersonal skills. Meta-analyses have found that group cognitive-behavioral approaches reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in both adults and youth, often with medium to large effect sizes.

Group therapy is also a great fit for neurodivergent folks (ADHD, autism, learning differences) who often benefit from structured skill-building, concrete tools, and affirming community with others who think and feel in similar ways.

Note: Exact group dates and times are coming soon. You can join the waitlist now to be the first to know when groups open.

What to Expect in Any Group

Small group size so everyone has space

  • Confidential, judgment-free environment

  • Structured sessions with skills, discussion, and take-home tools

  • Licensed therapist facilitator trained in evidence-based approaches

  • Mix of psychoeducation, skills, and real-life application

    Important note:
    Group therapy at Uncomfortably Comfy is not a replacement for crisis services or higher levels of care. If you or your child/teen are in immediate danger, please call 988 (in the U.S.) or your local emergency number.

We’re currently finalizing:

  • Specific group start dates & times

  • Group fees and insurance details

  • Virtual vs. in-person options

At Uncomfortably Comfy, group therapy is designed to be:

  • Neurodivergent-Affirming Support for Parents

    Navigating Raising a Neurodivergent Child (In-Person Spring Cohort + Virtual Fall Cohort)

    You’re not alone. Parenting a neurodivergent child can be deeply meaningful—and also exhausting, confusing, and isolating at times. This group offers a warm, trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming space where you can exhale, feel understood, and leave with practical strategies you can use right away.

    This is not about “fixing” your child. It’s about supporting regulation, strengthening connection, reducing family stress, and building sustainable systems that protect everyone’s mental health.

    What This Group Is

    A supportive, psychoeducational therapy group for parents/caregivers raising neurodivergent children or teens (ADHD, autism, sensory differences, learning differences, giftedness/twice-exceptional profiles, and more).

    You can expect:

    • A validating, shame-free environment that honors nervous systems and real life

    • Practical, research-informed strategies you can apply immediately

    • Tools for reducing power struggles and building cooperation without coercion

    • Support for caregiver burnout, grief, and “constant vigilance” stress

    • A place to troubleshoot what’s happening at home and at school with people who get it

    Facilitator: Led by a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) offering a trauma-informed, practical approach—warm, steady, and slightly playful when appropriate.

    Format: Small group to ensure safety, connection, and individualized attention.

    What We’ll Cover (Sample Topics)

    • Understanding neurodivergent nervous systems (regulation before reasoning)

    • Co-regulation skills that actually work in the moment

    • Meltdowns vs. shutdowns: what to do (and what not to do)

    • Boundaries that are compassionate and sustainable

    • Reducing family conflict and “walking on eggshells”

    • Supporting executive function: routines, transitions, and follow-through

    • School stress, advocacy, and communication with teachers/providers

    • Caregiver burnout prevention and recovery

    • Strength-based parenting: building confidence and connection

    • Creating a “family plan” that fits your child (and your life)

  • Neurodivergent Adult Group (Virtual)

    June 2 – August 11, 2026

    You don’t have to “mask” your way through support. This small, neurodivergent-affirming therapy group is designed for adults who want practical tools, steady connection, and a trauma-informed space to navigate daily life—without pressure to perform, over-explain, or fit a rigid mold.

    We prioritize predictability, respect, and flexible participation so you can show up in the way that works for your nervous system.

    What This Group Is

    • Prefer a group with structure, clarity, and respectful pacing

    • Are seeking connection with others who “get it”

  • A supportive, practical group for teens navigating anxiety, overwhelm, ADHD-style struggles, and low mood

    Some teens don’t need “more motivation.” They need tools that work with their nervous system—skills for when emotions spike, focus disappears, anxiety takes over, or everything feels like too much. This group offers a calm, supportive space where teens can build practical coping skills, strengthen confidence, and feel less alone.

    This is a skills-forward therapy group that blends supportive discussion with real-life strategies teens can use right away—at school, at home, and in friendships.

    What This Group Is

    A small, supportive therapy group for teens who may be experiencing:

    • Anxiety, worry spirals, panic, or social stress

    • ADHD-style challenges (focus, procrastination, time management, overwhelm)

    • Emotional intensity, irritability, shutdown, or “meltdowns”

    • Low mood, burnout, or feeling stuck

    • Friendship conflict, rejection sensitivity, or communication struggles

    • Stress around school expectations and performance

    Teens do not need a formal diagnosis to benefit. Many participants relate to more than one area (anxiety + attention + mood).

    Skills We’ll Practice (What Makes This Group Different)

    This group is designed to be practical and experiential, not just “talk therapy in a circle.” Each session includes:

    • Mindfulness skills to help teens notice what’s happening internally without getting hijacked by it

    • Emotion regulation tools (DBT-informed strategies) to manage big feelings and reduce impulsive reactions

    • Distress tolerance skills for high-stress moments (what to do when you can’t “think your way out”)

    • Coping strategies for attention + overwhelm (planning, prioritizing, task initiation, momentum-building)

    • Interpersonal and communication skills to navigate friendships, boundaries, conflict, and self-advocacy

    • Self-compassion + identity support to reduce shame and build confidence

    We keep the tone warm and relatable—skills that feel usable, not preachy.

    Format & Structure

    • Small group size to support safety and connection

    • Predictable session flow (teens like knowing what to expect)

    • A mix of brief teaching + practice + discussion

    • Optional between-session “try-it” tools (simple experiments, not homework-heavy)
