Therapeutic Groups

Therapeutic Groups can be a wonderful way to compliment individual therapy by bringing about holistic healing through body movement, mindfulness & meditation, and other unique opportunities. Some groups meet weekly, others are a one-time class, and others may meet several times a year. From trauma-informed yoga, to plant-based healings, music & dance, to spiritual direction, you’re sure to find a group just right for you. Register for any of the available groups below (you do not need to be an active ECS client to register).
**all classes & groups meet at Evans Counseling Services unless otherwise stated
**you must register 48 hours in advance of class; if class falls on a Monday, you must register 72 hours in advance
