Virtual Story Group Therapy

Waitlist is Available for Winter 2025

A 10-Week Online Journey of Story, Connection, and Transformation

Story Groups are designed for anyone who longs for their story to be witnessed in a safe, supportive community. Over 10 weeks, you’ll gather virtually with others who share the same desire: to be seen, heard, and cared for as you journey toward healing.

Are you ready to tell your story?

Why Your Story Matters

When we tell our stories in safe community, something profound happens.

  • We receive care where care was once absent

  • Our stories open to a fuller truth

  • Our nervous system begins to release trauma

Healing is never easy—but knowing there is a way through makes it less frightening, especially when we are not alone.

What Story Groups Offer

We are harmed in relationships.
We are healed in relationships.

In Story Groups, you will:

  • Receive tenderness in the very places that once held only pain

  • Listen with openness and compassion, offering light where darkness once lived

  • Hold and be held in kindness and care

  • Gain new perspectives that shift old narratives into more supportive stories

What to Expect

What You Can Expect

Each Story Group blends teaching with the sacred work of sharing.

  • 10 consecutive weekly sessions (2 hours each)

  • 8 participants per group

  • Each person commits to sharing one personal story

  • Guidance on how to write and bring your story

  • Support on how to engage with others’ stories with care

  • Teaching on trauma, somatic practices, and body regulation

  • An embodied experience of the healing power of connection

What if you could change the meaning behind the stories of your past?

What if you could gain some clarity on certain events and relationships from your past and find a new understanding and fuller truth about your experiences?

There are so many layers to you and the experiences of your past (your stories).

Our past is never really past, and it influences several areas of our lives, impacting decision-making, behaviors, experiences, and relationships.

In Story Groups we come together to help you understand your stories and explore new truths.

If you tend to feel overwhelmed by negative experiences, thoughts, or emotions, you are not alone. You are not "broken" or "the problem" or “powerless”.

Our gatherings are about helping one another widen your view by considering more cohesive truths to your stories so you can be free to live and discover the fullest version of yourself.

Tiered Pricing

Tiered Pricing

I offer tiered, class-equitable, pay-what-supports-you pricing for my online sessions. I believe that pricing should not exacerbate societal divides. I also want to help create a conscious, intentional, and value-aligned culture of payment.

Please read the following considerations and then determine which price is appropriate for you.

  • Finances, especially in our society, are a nuanced and complex consideration. I believe we should regularly dialogue and check in around which tier currently works and as your financial situation shifts, rates can be re-assessed.

    Frequency of sessions is another aspect for consideration.

    For a tier-based system to work, it relies on the principles of truthfulness, respect for complexity and accountability. I will never ask for income verification. I trust you to be honest.

    Therapy is an investment in you, and it’s important to discern the difference between a sacrifice and hardship.

    Sacrifice: You may find that, financially, you’re required to prioritize therapy and cut back on spending in other areas of your life, if there is no significant detrimental impact on your life, then you would consider the Tier One or Tier Two.

    Hardship: If paying for therapy would lead to a harmful impact on your financial life (not being able to put food on the table or pay for utilities) then you’re dealing with hardship and would utilize the community tier.

    This tier structure was inspired and directly informed by the work of Alexis J.Cunninfolk and Yvette of Inner Flow Somatic Counseling.

  • Choose this tier if you:

    • Have salaried positions with benefits

    • Comfortably meet your basic needs**

    • Have some debt but it does not prohibit you from attainment of basic needs

    • Have a financially secured position or work part time by choice

    • Have expendable income

    **By choosing this price, you are “paying it forward” and contributing to a more equitable world by supporting therapeutic access for those with less.

Hear from Past Participants

Hear from Past Participants

  • “Story group has given me the gift of receiving encouragement and support from others by way of engaging in my stories of harm. My stories have been very personal and painful, and for years, I kept those stories buried deep down inside. My story group has become my most trusted confidants, and by trusting them to engage in my stories, much light has been shed on events of my life I did not see well. This has been so healing and profoundly life-changing.”

  • “I’ve done multiple story group sessions with Kim and have gleaned a lot from hearing other people process their stories in addition to sharing my own. Kim cultivates a safe space to be authentic and vulnerable. It was a good balance of teaching time, where we learned new concepts while diving into our stories.”

  • “Storywork is validating the feelings I have always had, yet I always thought I was wrong for feeling them.”

  • “Kim is able to be present with me in such a safe and comfortable way that provides containment. She always asks questions that reveal spaces I do not seem to have access to.”

  • “I’ve done multiple story group sessions with Kim and have gleaned a lot from hearing other people process their stories in addition to sharing my own. Kim cultivates a safe space to be authentic and vulnerable. It was a good balance of teaching time, where we learned new concepts while diving into our stories.”

  • “I didn’t really understand the premise of story work until I actually did it. Stepping into my story, inviting others into my story, engaging in others’ stories—those descriptions didn’t click for me until I joined one of Kim’s story groups. For me, story work is like reliving the moments and events from the past when I experienced great pain and trauma. But instead of being alone, invisible, and powerless—as I was in childhood—I am there with Kim as my trusted, attuned counselor, along with the compassionate, encouraging members of my story group. I can’t overstate the power of this experience, of returning to the dark places, turning on a bright warm light, and being seen, heard, cared for, and protected. It’s nothing less than transformational.”

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC MA NCC

As someone who has experienced profound trauma and abuse in life, I have been, and continue to be, on the journey toward healing.

I’m no stranger to pain and shame. I’ve suffered through the dark night of the soul.

I understand what it takes to step back into the past and navigate the dark stories from where our wounded parts stem.

It wasn’t until I discovered storywork/narrative therapy that I began to experience true healing and transformation. I was guided toward attunement in ways I had never known or understood. When I allowed others to walk with me through the darkness, I was finally able to find my way to the other side.

The truth is, we are not meant to live in the isolation of our own suffering. We need each other.

When we can allow others to bear witness, to experience, to see our wounds and gently tend to them, that is when the truth is revealed and healing can occur.

I’ve done the work. I’ll always be doing the work. I know what it takes. And from this place, I can guide others to find their way back home to themselves.

We don’t heal in isolation. We heal in connection.
