Tides: A Women's Process Group

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 Women's Group (Tides) could be for you.

Tides provides a community for female identifying folxs who are in their twenties through thirties to discuss unique issues and topics that arise in adulthood. Example topics include family and intimate relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma, career, and other topics unique to female experiences. We recommend that future members are also in this age range, to best support group cohesion.

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 7:00pm – 8:30pm 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.
