Estrangement Support Group Registration (Fall 2024)

Rebecca Martinez Fitzgerald, LCSW and Leah Caminker, LCMHCA will co-facilitate an online support group to help estranged and ambivalent adult children find connection and community, explore their personal values and learn more about setting, holding and adjusting healthy boundaries.

What this is and who it's for:

  • 8-week virtual support group (participants commit to attending at least 7 of the 8 weeks)
  • Fridays from noon-1:30 from October 4 to November 22
  • Facilitators intend to host an in-person gathering in Durham for the final session.
  • The fee is $60 per session, billed before group commences in October. (A few sliding-scale rates and scholarships are available, so please reach out if cost is a barrier.) 

This is a psychoeducational support group, not group therapy. Expect to learn from brief presentations and participate in group discussions about:

  • attachment 
  • rupture and repair
  • values and assertive communication
  • acceptance and coping with discomfort
  • ambivalence and grief

Participants must be 18 years or older, live in North Carolina, be able to verbally communicate in English, and have an established relationship with an individual therapist. (Participation in this group is not a substitute for psychotherapy and does not initiate a therapeutic relationship.) Group members agree to attend at least 7 of the 8 group sessions. Group members agree to respect the values of anti-racism, body-neutrality, and welcoming inclusion of LGBTQ+, BIPOC and disabled folks. 

Who it's not for:

  • Parents struggling with estrangement from adult children
  • People who do not have an individual therapist
  • People unwilling to consider or tolerate the potential appropriateness of a no-contact relationship with a parent for themselves or others
  • People who anticipate more than one absence from group
  • People who are unwilling or unable to listen and share with others or respect the group's values
If you'd like to join for this group, please fill out the form below. All spots, including those with scholarships and payment plans, are first-come, first served.

Are you an adult in individual therapy, or at least have an established relationship with an individual therapist? *
The full fee for group participation is $60 per session for 8 sessions ($480 total) due before group begins. The group fee is kept intentionally low to make this financially accessible to as many interested parties as possible, but we know this might still present a barrier for some prospective members. A few reduced-fee and scholarship spots are available for participants based on need.  *
I understand that by filling out this form, I am inviting a group facilitator to contact me to schedule a brief phone call. The phone call will help the facilitator understand more about my needs and expectations and to assess potential group dynamics. This call will give me an opportunity to ask questions about the group. Completing this form does NOT establish a therapist-client relationship, nor does it guarantee my place in the support group.  *
