Women of Color Therapy Group

The Women of Color Psychotherapy Group is an open-ended, inclusive, and empowering space designed to support women of color in processing and healing from difficult life experiences. In light of a racially charged sociopolitical environment, a shifting governmental landscape, the ongoing global pandemic with other global disasters, and the compounded effects of systemic oppression and trauma, it is more critical than ever to create a space that fosters safety, affirmation, and collective healing. This group provides a platform for women of color to come together in solidarity, resisting the pervasive “isms” that perpetuate discrimination, marginalization and othering.

Focused on addressing the unique challenges faced by women of color (WOC/BIPOC) holding several co-occurring identities, the group invites exploration of how racism, discrimination, and intersecting forms of trauma (including relational trauma, histories of abuse/neglect, experiences of poverty, etc.) have manifested and shaped their lives. The weekly sessions will offer support, insight, psychoeducation, and a space to explore complex, interwoven issues surrounding racial and cultural identities in the context of contemporary social and political challenges.

We are looking to recruit women of color (18+ years old) who are non-white and identify as part of a marginalized community of color (including but not limited to Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, mixed identities). Trans women and non-binary individuals who identify with a community of color are also welcome.

SelfWorks is a warm, collaborative psychotherapy practice founded by Amy Vigliotti, grounded in the belief that people are inherently resilient, and can grow with the right support.

We offer therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, including individual, couples, family, and group therapy. We also offer parenting support and mindfulness-based services.

Care begins with a thoughtful consultation to ensure the right fit. Our clinicians draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT, psychodynamic therapy, exposure-based treatments, and mindfulness in order to help clients build insight, practical skills, and lasting change.

What makes SelfWorks different? We are a deeply human, nonjudgmental space where therapy is both relief (feel better now) and growth (build a stronger, more confident you).
