Description: Grief touches everyone differently, and it rarely follows a straight line. This group offers a compassionate, supportive space to be with others who understand the heaviness of loss. Together, we make room for the many emotions that come with grieving without pressure to “move on” or pretend you’re okay before you are. You’ll have the chance to share at your own pace, learn helpful tools for navigating grief, and feel less alone in what you’re carrying. Come exactly as you are. There’s no right or wrong way to grieve here, just a community that walks alongside you as you heal.
Facilitators: Roxanne Adli & Myles Green
“Roxanne is a therapist trainee currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, with specific interests in trauma healing, attachment wounds, and healthy relationships. Guided by a trauma-informed approach, she is deeply interested in how trauma and early relationships with caregivers shape our understanding of self, our ways of connecting, and the types of relationships we form with others. She seeks to help clients uncover the root causes or traumas underneath their behaviors and feelings so that healing can come from a place of genuine understanding, self-knowledge, and self-awareness. In sessions, she strives to create a gentle, healing, safe, trusting, and compassionate space where clients feel deeply seen and supported as they journey toward growth, self-awareness, and wellness. In this space, she seeks to help people reconnect with their authentic selves so they can grow in wisdom and find their inner strength, capacity, and drive for meaningful change and growth.”
“My name is Myles and I feel very lucky to serve here at the Liberation Institute. I’ve been working as a middle school P.E. teacher for the past 7 years; and I recently came to the realization that much of my experience here informs my current passion for mental health. When I first started as an educator, I began noticing that many if not most of my students were unable to access the curriculum until they learned to process some of their more challenging emotions. Hence, I have since made the pivot to focus on addressing this before diving into any academic content. Today, I strive everyday to make sure my students are empowered with the tools they need to be their best selves. And I hope to do the same here at Libi. My work utilizes a collaborative approach to determine what therapeutic interventions work best for clients, as I believe they are the experts on their own stories and respective journeys. I prefer to think of myself as a humble guide helping to keep things on track along the way. One of my favorite things to witness is when clients utilize strengths they never knew they had to tackle challenges they never thought they’d overcome. My hope is to illuminate opportunities for this and other transformative change within all those I am privileged to work with.”
