A group for middle school girls figuring out who they are.
Middle school is a time of big change, growing independence, and figuring out who you are. This six-week group gives girls ages 11–13 a supportive space to explore identity, build confidence, and strengthen a sense of self during this important stage of life.

Through guided activities and real conversation, girls reflect on what matters to them, navigate friendship dynamics, and practice handling conflict, comparison, and the pressure to fit in. They'll also learn coping tools for the stress and overwhelm that come with middle school.
Most of all, it's a place to feel understood and accepted as she is, while building the confidence to show up more fully with friends, at school, and in everyday life.
