Our Group Offerings
Our groups are thoughtfully facilitated by experienced clinicians who provide guidance, structure, and tools to support your recovery. Together, we create a safe, compassionate environment where you can explore challenges, celebrate progress, and practice new skills in real time.
Healing in community
Group support can be a powerful part of the healing process, offering connection, understanding, and a sense of not being alone. In a group setting, you have the opportunity to share experiences, learn from others, and receive encouragement from peers who truly “get it.” This shared space often helps reduce shame, build insight, and foster accountability in a way that individual work alone may not.

WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
FAT JOY
“I’ve been in shared space with people who share other identities of mine but never in fat space. It was really profound to be able to talk about the highs and the lows with other people who really ’got it.’ It has helped me realize that fat is just another of my identities, it doesn’t have to be a site of grief.”
“Fat Joy made a great impact on me. I am more comfortable in my body. The sense of community in the group is unmatched. I felt very seen and connected.”
“I was very reluctant to become part of [this group]…..each session I was able to be more loving and accepting of myself.That my lived experience was echoed in the lives of the other participants and facilitators. I gained so much wisdom and strength…”
iMOVE
“The iMove Group has impacted my recovery in countless ways and was truly the missing link in bridging the gap between highly structured eating disorder treatment and the grey realities of daily life. First and foremost, the iMove Group quickly challenged my rigidity, my all or nothing thinking, and my low tolerance for a middle ground..”
“I loved the values work around exercise, which prompted a lot of great reflection on my end and has stuck with me the most in my day-to-day decisions around exercise. I also enjoyed learning about polyvagal theory and sensory input and brainstorming other ways to meet the needs of my nervous system. I also found peer-lead support and discussion to be some of the best moments of the group overall as we were able to find relief in feeling seen and understood for something that feels shameful/distressing.”
“I found this to be a safe place to be uncomfortable”
