Note: LA/OC HELP is a Meetup-era successor to the original Los Angeles HELP and Orange County HELP chapters that used to anchor the ASHA HELP network in Southern California. I have not been able to verify a current public meeting schedule, and the group's footprint sits on Meetup rather than a dedicated website (the older lahelp.org domain has been dead for years). If you find a current LA/OC HELP listing on Meetup, treat the meeting date posted there as authoritative and confirm the host before showing up. Otherwise, the waitlist below is the active option for the LA Basin.

Where to go from here

Here's where to go from here.

  1. Get the recording + join the waitlist

    Sign up below and I'll send you a recording of one of my past virtual support group calls so you can hear what the format was like. I'm not running virtual groups right now, but if enough interest builds up, I'll launch one and you'll be the first to know.

    You'll get the recording and my free toolkit in your confirmation email, plus a heads-up if a virtual group launches. Joins my main email list. No spam, unsubscribe anytime.

  2. Read the ebook + handouts (free)

    The disclosure ebook walks through the conversation step by step. The handouts cover body anxiety, relationship questions, and the long-term identity work. Same starting point I use with my one-on-one coaching clients.

  3. Work with me one-on-one

    When self-paced isn't enough, my private coaching is the deeper option. The 25-minute discovery call is $75 (33% off the regular session rate) and it's the lowest-friction way to see if we're a fit.
