Groups
In groups, there are many opportunities for an aha moment — when a peer names something, mirrors a pattern, or describes a struggle you know intimately. Groups empower us and help develop a deep empathy for ourselves and for each other. One of the greatest benefits is that you're never growing and learning alone.
All groups are led by Cynthia Dimon, LCSW, and meet online via secure video — accessible to women anywhere in California and Washington. Each group runs as a closed 6-week cohort, meaning the same women meet together from start to finish, building trust and real connection over time. Groups are limited to 6–8 women to keep the space intimate and focused.
No individual therapy relationship with Cynthia is required to join. And if a group experience sparks something deeper, individual therapy is available to inquire about after your cohort ends.
Anxiety & Overwhelm Group
You manage everything — and yet the anxiety doesn't let up. The racing thoughts, the mental load that never fully empties, the sense that something is always about to go wrong. This 6-week online group is for women who are ready to understand what is driving their overwhelm and build real, sustainable tools to meet it differently.
Together we will explore:
The thought patterns and nervous system responses that keep anxiety running
Practical CBT and mindfulness-based tools for managing worry and stress
How to recognize your triggers and respond with more intention and less reactivity
Building a calmer, more grounded relationship with uncertainty
This group is for you if you feel chronically overwhelmed, struggle with racing thoughts or worry, and are ready to do something about it — in the company of women who understand.
For women who are tired of feeling like they are always one step behind themselves.Emotional Regulation Group
You feel things deeply. That is not a flaw — but when emotions surge in ways that feel out of proportion, or spill into your relationships and leave you feeling ashamed or exhausted, it can be hard to know where to turn. This 6-week online group draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you build the skills to feel your feelings without being overwhelmed by them.
Together we will explore:
Understanding the roots of emotional intensity and what triggers your responses
DBT skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness
How to pause between feeling and reacting — and choose your response
Building self-compassion for the moments when emotions take over
This group is for you if you experience intense emotional responses, struggle in relationships because of how you feel, or have been told you are "too much" — and are ready to find a steadier, more empowered way to live in your own skin.
For women whose emotions sometimes feel bigger than the moment — and who are ready to understand why.Rates
