Group therapy is a research-backed, effective form of treatment as a stand alone service or as a supplement to individual and family therapy. Cherry Hill values group experiences for our clients to grow and heal in community. Explore our group opportunities below.
Finding Meaning After Loss
Grief can feel especially heavy in the fall and winter, when celebrations and family gatherings bring both beauty and ache. This five-week group offers a supportive space to explore your story of loss, honor the person you’ve lost, and begin to reweave meaning and connection through shared reflection. Using principles of narrative therapy, participants will learn to express their grief, reshape their relationship with the deceased, and create new ways of carrying love forward into daily life.
Date: Saturdays, October 25 – November 22, 2025, 10AM-12PM
Location: Zoom
Cost: $125 for 5 weeks ($25 per session). Sliding scale or scholarships available upon request.
