Lavender Groves mission is to ensure that Black women who are worried, overwhelmed, sad and ashamed can recieve the support they need to manage the debilitating effects life stressors that exaccerbate mental illness.

Here at Lavender Grove we aim to provide preventative care to Black Women experiencing trauma related anxiety and depression. Individual sessions are provided in office and via tele-therapy.

The Ladies Room Therapeutic Group is designed to provide a safe space for Black Women to share experiences with peers struggling with similar issues. The group is a great place for members to find accountability and support while working through life's challenges, groups include talk and yoga therapy.
Group therapy can be a great supplement to individual therapy and can lead to a remarkable reduction in feelings of distress, increased fulfillment in personal relationships, increased self-awareness and improved distress tolerance.
Please Note: Groups require a time committment of 60 minutes or more and may include 10-15 participants.
