Daughters Talk: Healing Mother-Daughter Relationships

Some wounds begin long before adulthood, and healing begins when your story finally has a safe place to be heard.

Who This Group Is For

This group is for Black women who are:

  • Navigating complicated relationships with their mother or maternal figures
  • Grieving the nurturing, protection, or emotional support they never received
  • Healing from childhood emotional wounds
  • Working to break generational cycles
  • Learning to establish healthy boundaries
  • Seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their family story

Whether your relationship with your mother is close, strained, distant, or no longer possible, your experience belongs here.

What We'll Explore

Throughout this six-week journey, we'll discuss:

  • Mother-daughter relationship dynamics
  • Identity and self-worth
  • Generational trauma and resilience
  • Boundaries without guilt
  • Grief and acceptance
  • Anger and emotional healing
  • Forgiveness, when and if it feels appropriate
  • Reclaiming your voice and redefining yourself

This group honors the unique cultural experiences of Black women while creating space for honest conversation, vulnerability, and growth.

What Makes This Group Different

You won't have to explain your lived experience. This group is intentionally designed to provide culturally responsive care where your identity, experiences, and emotions are welcomed and understood. Together we'll create a supportive environment built on empathy, confidentiality, and authentic connection.

What to Expect in a Group Session

The First Session

The first session is intentionally gentle. You are not expected to share your deepest story right away. We walk through introductions, group agreements, and expectations, and give you space to observe, listen, and ease in.

A Typical Session

Sessions usually begin with a check-in, move into the focus or theme of the week, and end with reflection or grounding. You can expect 60 to 90 minutes of guided conversation, shared experiences, and facilitator support.

Group Size

Groups are intentionally small, typically 6 to 10 members, so that everyone has space to be heard without feeling lost in the room.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is essential. What is shared in group stays in group. Every member agrees to this before joining so trust can actually exist.

FAQS

Questions You Might Be Carrying

A few things people often wonder before reaching out.
How is group therapy different from individual therapy?
Individual therapy is a one-on-one space to explore your inner world. Group therapy adds something powerful: other people. You learn not only from the therapist, but from shared experience, feedback, and connection.
What if I'm too shy or anxious to talk in a group?
That's completely okay. You are never forced to share. Many people start by listening first, and participation grows naturally over time.
Is what I share in group confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is a core agreement of group therapy. What happens in group stays in group, and every member agrees to it before joining.
Can I do individual and group therapy at the same time?
Yes. In fact, many people find the combination helpful: individual therapy for depth, and group therapy for practice and connection.
What if I don't click with the group?
That's a valid concern. We complete an initial meeting before you join to make sure the group is the right fit for you.
