Our therapists, Anikó Blake, LMFT and Laura Hagen, LMFT, would like to welcome new members into a supportive and transformative group therapy. If you are looking to improve your social skills, get feedback about your communication and how you are perceived, and obtain support for issues happening in your life, Tides Group could be for you.

Tides provides a community that welcomes marginalized genders including women, women-identifying individuals, non-binary people, and gender non-conforming people who are comfortable in a space that centers around the experiences of women. The group offers support for individuals in their 20s through 30s to discuss unique issues and topics that arise in adulthood. Example topics include family and intimate relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma, career, and identity.

Group Size

The ongoing group consists of eight members at one time. A new spot becomes available when previous members terminate their membership. This occurs one to three times per year.

Time/Location

Virtual meetings occur every Tuesday from 6:30pm – 8:00pm CT via a HIPAA compliant video platform. Members must reside in Illinois in order to participate.

Cost

The cost for each session is $50 and, for those with insurance, the client's responsibility is based on their specific coverage. We are in-network with BlueCross/BlueShield PPO, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare PPO. We cannot accept Medicaid and EAP plans.

Attendance

Members are expected to attend each weekly session until they are ready to leave the group, which can be after a few months or a few years– it depends on each member and their goals. We ask that new members commit to an eight week trial period to fully assess whether or not they wish to continue.

We conduct interviews to assess mutual goodness of fit. These are 50 minute interviews that are billable to insurance.
