Repair after a serious relationship rupture does not only happen in session. It happens in the small, consistent choices partners make between appointments.

Slowing down when emotions spike. Staying present to a partner's pain without defending. Naming the need underneath a hard moment. Building small daily acts of attention. And tending to individual healing alongside the couples work.

Emotionally Focused Therapy offers a structured, compassionate path for this kind of repair. It is rarely linear, and it is some of the most meaningful work two people can do together.

You should never have to choose which part of yourself to bring to therapy.

Your race, your gender, your sexuality, your neurotype, your faith, your story. They do not exist in separate boxes. They braid together, and the stress of carrying them in a world that often refuses to see all of you is real.

The right therapist can hold the whole picture.

Meet your guide for the evening.

Jess Harman, LMSW will be leading our Mindful Pride Walk on June 24 at The Preserve at Vassar. With Jess at the front, we'll move slowly through the preserve, pausing along the way for breathing practices, sensory awareness, reflection prompts, and quiet observation of the natural world around us.

This event is open to all members of the LGBTQ+ community, at every experience level. The pace is relaxed and we'll pause often. No prior mindfulness or hiking experience needed.

When: June 24, 7:00–8:15pm Where: The Preserve at Vassar (parking lot off Vassar Farm Ln., look for the "P") In partnership with Dutchess County Pride Center

Your 20s can look like freedom from the outside and feel like quiet panic from the inside.

The shame so many young adults carry is not about laziness or weakness. It is about measuring a half-built life against a polished feed, and being afraid to say it out loud.

Launching is not linear. You are allowed to be in process.

This Pride, we're slowing down together.

On June 24, join us at The Preserve at Vassar for a peaceful, affirming walk in nature with members of the LGBTQ+ community. Together we'll connect with the outdoors and explore simple mindfulness practices designed to help us feel grounded, present, and connected to ourselves and each other.
Open to all experience levels. No prior mindfulness or hiking experience needed. We'll move at a relaxed pace with frequent pauses.
