This group will benefit anyone seeking practical coping skills for daily life. If you identify as someone who has difficulty coping with regulating your emotions, or who doesn’t know what to do with your emotions, interpersonal conflicts, or problematic behaviors, this group is for you. We will cycle through 4 modules in DBT: Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. We will cover the topic/skill, including its practical applications, common pitfalls, and when to apply it. We will also address questions and concerns, as well as how to effectively use the skill. These skills are meant to be practical- using real life situations from the members in group will help demonstrate how the skills can be used.

Bring your breakfast to this series of free meet-ups with our founder, Christine Northrup. Christine is a licensed clinical social worker, and she’s also recovered from her own eating disorder. She’s passionate about how we sustain lifelong recovery and eating disorder prevention. Join her for one or all of a series of discussions throughout 2026 to discuss the joys and challenges of long-term eating disorder recovery.
Some things to know:
– All sessions are free of charge, but please make sure to register so we know to expect you
– This is not a meal support group, but it is a space designed to include eating so please bring your breakfast or your morning snack (for you early risers) and plan to meet your needs during the discussion.
– All those engaged in eating disorder recovery are invited to this discussion whether new to the process or long recovered. Whether the ask to eat during the chat is easy peasy or very scary, you get to be a part of the discussion.

This trauma-informed yoga group is practiced in a safe space with a skilled teacher, Lauren Kenney, who is also a licensed therapist. Lauren holds respect for you and your boundaries in the highest regard. Some of the skills learned in this group can help you learn how to control and manage what your body and mind are going through. As you combine movement and breath, you will begin rebuilding mind-body connections that may have been lost.
Clinician Lauren Kenney is a compassionate and dedicated therapist specializing in helping individuals navigate life’s most challenging moments. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate, she works with teens and adults (15+) to create a safe, supportive environment where they can explore and heal from struggles such as eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment concerns, and life transitions.
As a Registered Yoga Teacher, I can also incorporate trauma-informed yoga into sessions.Trauma informed yoga is an approach that integrates the principles of trauma sensitivity and mindfulness into the practice of yoga. This practice emphasizes body awareness, grounding techniques, and breathing exercises, allowing individuals to reconnect with their bodies in a gentle and empowering way. When incorporated into therapy, trauma-informed yoga can complement traditional talk therapies, helping clients process trauma, reduce stress, and regulate emotions. The focus is on creating a sense of control, safety, and empowerment, which is essential for healing from past trauma.
Start your year and your first weeks of 2025 off with more presence than ever in this exciting new offering. Hosted by Take Roots founder, Christine Northrup, this group is being offered to folks in long-term recovery from their eating disorder. In this group, we will explore what it means to be living as a recovered person or person in long-term recovery and how we can live more fully in our present lives while embracing and honoring the history that will always be with us? Each group will include an embodiment practice, goal identification, discussion and intention setting.
Christine is thrilled to be leading this long time dream of a group. She will be showing up as both a licensed therapist and recovered person in this space as she guides, what we hope will be, a powerful and grounding process that deepens your connection to your own wisdom.
