Groups

There is something quietly powerful about being in a virtual space with women who get it. While the women in your group may not have lived your exact story, they will understand what it feels like to carry similar emotional burdens. Support groups offer something different than individual therapy in that your support and growth are witnessed by others walking a similar path.

All groups are led by Cynthia Dimon, LCSW and meet online via secure platform — 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, depth, and real connection over time. Groups are limited to 6–8 people to keep each group intimate and focused.

Groups are open to people not currently participating in individual therapy with Cynthia. After finishing a group cohort, you have the option of inquiring about individual therapy with Cynthia.

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.
