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.
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.

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.

For every group below, I've documented founding dates, last-known activity, and the moment its presence disappeared from the public record. Sources cited per claim.
Philadelphia HELP
Philadelphia HELP was the eastern-Pennsylvania ASHA HELP chapter at the 2008 network peak, running out of (610) 328-3813. It sat alongside Tri State HELP in Pittsburgh as Pennsylvania's two HELP chapters. By 2026 neither chapter has a working website or an ASHA listing. If you're in the Philadelphia metro and looking for the in-person peer-sharing format the original chapter ran, the waitlist below is how I'll know to launch a virtual group.
