EmpowerHer is a nurturing sanctuary tailored for women, femmes, and nonbinary folks who have survived sexual trauma. Guided by Ashley Merriman, LCSW, this group offers a supportive environment where survivors can embark on their healing journey. Through a blend of psychoeducation, identity exploration, and empathetic sharing, participants will gain insights into trauma responses, coping mechanisms, and avenues for self-care. Through discussions with other survivors, participants can gain a deeper understanding of their experiences, a sense of belonging, and the tools necessary for healing. Some sessions may have a particular theme or topic, but generally each session will start with a check in, followed by an open discussion, next, a grounding or mindfulness exercise, and then a check out.
