Healing happens in good company.
Group therapy pairs the support of a therapist with the understanding of people who get it. You take part, you listen, and you find you are not carrying it alone. It is one of the most affordable and connected ways to do this work.
- A safe, welcoming space led by a licensed therapist
- Focused on anxiety, trauma recovery, and building resilience
- Small groups so every voice is heard

Meet Misty Besch, LMSW
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in law enforcement. That work gave me a grounded, honest understanding of trauma, resilience, and what it takes to keep going after something hard.
Today I bring that same steadiness to the therapy room. My approach is warm and collaborative, and it treats you as a whole person, mind and body together. I draw on EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, Internal Family Systems, and play therapy, and I meet you exactly where you are.
Whether you are stuck in a rut, facing powerful emotions, or just want someone to walk beside you with fresh perspective, I am here to help.
