Virtual workshops with Creekside Therapeutics
Body Doubling Group
Get things done—with a little company along the way.
Sometimes getting started is the hardest part. Body doubling is a strategy where another person (or group of people) is present while you work independently on tasks, providing gentle structure, accountability, and connection without pressure.
Creekside Therapeutics' Virtual Body Doubling Group offers neurodivergent adults a supportive space to tackle the things that have been hanging over their heads. Bring the paperwork you've been avoiding, emails you need to answer, laundry that needs folding, a creative project, school or work tasks, household organization—or whatever else you would like to make some progress on.
Sessions provide opportunities to identify what you'd like to accomplish, break overwhelming tasks into more approachable steps, work alongside others, and check back in about what worked, what got in the way, and what you want to carry forward.
This group may be especially helpful for adults who experience challenges with executive functioning, task initiation, attention, motivation, time awareness, or feeling overwhelmed by multi-step tasks.
You don't have to be productive every second, finish everything on your list, or do things the
same way as anyone else. The goal is to create a supportive environment where getting started—and getting something done—can feel a little easier.

Music Therapy Chronic Illness Group
Are you looking for a space where you don’t have to explain your body, your energy, or your experience?
This virtual group is designed for adults living with chronic illness who are seeking connection, understanding, and a place to be with others who get it. Whether you’re navigating fatigue, pain, uncertainty, or the emotional impact of ongoing health challenges, this space offers an opportunity to show up exactly as you are.
Together, we’ll create space for:
- connecting with others who understand the realities of chronic illness
- sharing experiences in a way that feels supportive and not overwhelming
- exploring the emotional impact of living with a changing or unpredictable body
- finding moments of self-compassion, pacing, and acceptance
There is no expectation to share, be on camera, or participate in a certain way. Some days you may talk, and other days you may simply listen—and both are welcome here.

Postpartum Therapy Group
Real support for the very real transition into parenthood.
The postpartum period can hold a lot at once—love, exhaustion, uncertainty, joy, grief, overwhelm, changing relationships, shifting identities, and the pressure to somehow know what you're doing.
Creekside Therapeutics' Virtual Postpartum Support Group is a therapeutic space for birthing parents navigating the first two years after having a child. This group offers an opportunity to connect with other birthing parents experiencing the realities of postpartum life while exploring the emotional, relational, and identity changes that can accompany becoming and being a birthing parent.
Topics may include adjusting to parenthood, changing identity, relationships and intimacy, expectations versus reality, overwhelm and emotional regulation, asking for and accepting support, boundaries, self-compassion, and finding ways to care for yourself while caring for someone else.
Most importantly, this is a no-parent-shaming zone.
There is no single right way to parent, feed, sleep, work, stay home, ask for help, structure a family, or feel about becoming a parent. Different experiences, family structures, identities, and approaches to parenting are welcome. The goal isn't to compare ourselves or tell one another what we "should" be doing—it's to have somewhere we can talk honestly about what this season of life is actually like.
Babies and the realities of parenting are welcome, too. This is real life. We don't expect a perfectly quiet or interruption-free therapy hour from someone caring for a tiny human.

Exploring Your Story Through the Cards
A 6-week virtual therapeutic group for adults
Tarot can offer more than answers—it can give us new ways to ask questions.
Therapeutic Tarot is a virtual group that uses the imagery, symbolism, and archetypes of tarot as tools for self-reflection, creative exploration, and meaningful conversation. Participants will be invited to engage with the cards as prompts for exploring emotions, patterns, values, relationships, identity, strengths, challenges, and the stories we tell about ourselves.
Rather than using tarot to predict the future, this group approaches the cards with curiosity. What do you notice? What resonates? What doesn't? What might a particular image, character, or story help you see from a different perspective?
Throughout the six-week group, participants will have opportunities for guided reflection, discussion, creative activities, and connection with others in a supportive therapeutic environment.
No previous experience with tarot is required. You do not need to identify as spiritual or hold any particular beliefs about tarot to participate. Skepticism, curiosity, and different interpretations are welcome.

Autistic Adults Therapeutic Group
Connection, Identity & Self-Understanding
Finding spaces where you don't have to explain, perform, or make yourself fit can be difficult.
Creekside Therapeutics' Autistic Adults Therapeutic Group is a virtual psychotherapy group for autistic adults seeking connection, greater self-understanding, and a supportive place to explore their experiences alongside other autistic adults.
This neurodiversity-affirming group isn't about teaching you how to appear less autistic or changing the parts of you that make you who you are. Instead, we'll explore what it can look like to better understand your own needs, patterns, relationships, boundaries, strengths, and identity—and to build a life that works more authentically for you.
Throughout the group, we may explore topics including:
- Autistic identity and self-understanding
- Masking, unmasking, and authenticity
- Sensory needs, capacity, and regulation
- Autistic burnout and recognizing limits
- Relationships, communication, and connection
- Boundaries and communicating needs
- Self-advocacy and accommodations
- Self-compassion and challenging internalized expectations
- Strengths, interests, values, and building a life that fits
Sessions will combine facilitated therapeutic discussion, reflection, interpersonal processing, and evidence-informed psychotherapy approaches while allowing space for participants' own experiences and priorities to guide the conversation.
An Autism Affirming Space
We recognize that traditional group environments aren't always designed with autistic people in mind.
Participants will not be expected to make eye contact, communicate in a particular way, or participate verbally at every opportunity. We aim to provide clear expectations and structure while honoring different communication, sensory, and processing needs.
There is permission to pause, pass, take time to process, and show up as yourself.
You do not need to become "better at looking neurotypical" here.
Format: Virtual
Who: Autistic adults, ages 18+
Schedule: Every other Wednesday, 6:00–7:00 PM ET
Dates: September 23, October 7, October 21, November 4 & November 18, 2026

Because this is a psychotherapy group, prospective participants will complete Creekside's intake/screening process to determine whether the group is an appropriate fit.
You don't have to perform belonging here. Come connect, explore, and better understand what it means to be you.
