Healing Pages Collective: A Group Mental Health Read
Are you seeking a way to transform your mental health while connecting with others? We are thrilled to introduce Healing Pages Collective, a unique opportunity to dive into powerful literature under the guidance of a therapist.
We are excited to announce that our inaugural read will be Set Boundaries, Find Peace by Nedra Glover Tawwb. This New York Times bestseller breaks down the what, why, and how of boundaries in a clear and compassionate way while helping us identify and express our needs clearly and without apology--and unravel a root problem behind codependency, power struggles, anxiety, depression, burnout, and more. This group will leave you confident, empowered, and prepared to tackle those tough conversations.
Dates: TBD as group forms
Time: Tuesdays, 6-7:30 pm
Location: Birmingham Therapy Services, LLC
700 Century Park S, Suite 128, Birmingham, AL 35226

Don’t miss this opportunity to invest in your mental health and connect with others on the same path. Together, we can end the struggle to set boundaries, speak up for what we need, and experience the freedom of being truly ourselves.

How to Work with Your Anxiety / OCD Related Parts
Closed group, 6-week experiential group focused on how to befriend your Anxiety / OCD related parts. Will utilize interactive activities, creative expression, nervous system regulation tools, mindfulness techniques, and more.
Dates: TBD as group forms
Time: Wednesday, 6-7:30 pm
Location: Birmingham Therapy Services, LLC
700 Century Park South, Suite 128, Birmingham, AL 35226
Therapist: Nicole Jenkins, ALC
Cost: $45 per session, private pay only
Adults 21 +
A screening session is required to determine appropriateness of admission. Commitment to regular attendance is required.
Goals: To increase awareness and understanding of OCD and/or anxiety symptoms. Increase ability to manage symptoms and approach yourself with compassion and kindness. OCD and anxiety can be very isolating disorders and my hope with this group is to foster a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can learn to live in harmony with all parts of themselves. After this group, clients will walk away with a toolbox of skills they feel confident utilizing on their own, a deeper understanding of how their OCD shows up in their own life, and increased feeling of community and support.
