Young Adult Relationships Group
An 8-week group to heal your Anxious Attachment and build a Secure Relationship
About the Young Adults Relationship Group:
Do you find yourself overthinking texts, fearing rejection, needing constant reassurance, or feeling anxious when relationships feel uncertain? You’re not alone.
This 8-week therapy group is designed for young adults who struggle with anxious attachment and want to build healthier, more secure relationships with others- and with themselves.
Participants will learn how early relationship experiences shape current patterns, explore the root causes of relationship anxiety, and develop practical tools to manage fears of abandonment, overthinking, people-pleasing, and emotional reactivity. Through guided discussions, psychoeducation, and skill-building exercises, members will learn how to communicate their needs effectively, establish healthy boundaries, strengthen self-worth, and tolerate uncertainty in relationships.

The group is ideal for young adults who want to break unhealthy relationship patterns and move toward secure attachment.
This group offers a supportive environment to connect with others who share similar experiences while developing the skills needed to foster greater security, confidence, and connection in relationships.
