Empty Nester Support Group for Women

Do you have a grown child who will be going away to college in the fall? A grown child who will be moving out soon? 
Do you fear how quiet it will be at home? Do you worry about the changes this will bring to your life? Do you feel that you are losing a large part of your identity by not having a child at home?

Most women go through an emotional process as they approach and experience "empty nesting", or the experience of their only or youngest child leaving the home, whether by moving out or by attending college and staying in the dorm on campus. Complicated emotions can interfere with daily tasks, self care, sleep, eating, relationships, and more. And many women go through this process silently, despite the fact that so many women are experiencing similar struggles.

​This group is focused on supporting mothers who are going through this emotional change in their lives. Join together with others who are struggling through this life transition to process feelings, share ideas for coping, and heal together as you move into a new chapter in your life.

When: Saturday afternoons from 1pm-2:15pm
​Cost: $25 per group
​

Group Leader

This group will be led by Candyce Young, MSEd, MHC-LP. Candyce is dedicated in her practice to helping people overcome challenges, process difficult emotions, and achieve their personal goals. She is passionate about assisting women through transitions in their lives, including the empty nest transition, feeling that it doesn't receive the recognition that it deserves and that women do not receive the support they should for such a transition.

Interested in working with Candyce, but feeling that you would benefit more from individual rather than a group setting? Check out Candyce's full bio here, and fill out our Contact Form here to schedule an initial appointment.
