Are you ready to join The Circle?
Each day provides another chance to reset and get back to YOU. We’ve created a space that allows Black women to gather virtually to release and recalibrate. We are excited to share coping strategies needed to build resiliency and come out on the other side of these mentally taxing times ready to conquer the world! Our Sister Circle was designed to provide Black women with a safe therapeutic space to be empowered in affirming their authentic selves and support each other around issues unique to their shared experiences.
upcoming Group Schedule:

In addition to our 12-week Sister Circle group, we have added a NEW Single Black Girl in a Virtual World group.

Our 12-week groups are forming NOW! Join Sister Circle and explore solution focused strategies for navigating pandemic related stressors and more...
The InTake Process
Complete a structured intake assessment with Dr. Camp that is designed to support you in exploring your immediate challenges and isolating the barriers that can be moved out of your way in creating the life that you want. The structured intake assessment can also lay the foundation for increasing self awareness, identifying areas in life where you can enhance your sense of personal power, and in engaging solution focused approaches that individuals benefit from in a group therapy experience. Finally, the intake will allow us to ensure that the virtual group experience is the best platform available for achieving the personal growth that you are striving for. In the event that it is determined that the group is not the best fit for your needs, you will be provided with support in being connected with a mental health provider or resource that will be better suited to address the goal that you are seeking to achieve.

We understand that during these uncertain times, the current attack on our physical health and mental health are at an all time high… and so is our relationship health.

This small and private group provides opportunities to decompress from current challenges with other women who are proactively adjusting and rewriting the playbook to create the lives they want, while learning strategies for emotional balance and recalibrating in the new normal.
