Black Women Exhale

new series coming soon

"This group will be a nonjudgmental, empathic, and relatable space for members to share their thoughts and feelings as they navigate their worlds. As you may have experienced, the Black woman often has to bottle up her thoughts and feelings in order to just "make it" through the day. And we do it with our heads held high. We are not often given a space to just...exhale and be. My goal for Black Women Exhale is to be that needed space." -Bre'Shey 

Bre'Shey holds series of this group throughout the year. Contact her directly to learn more about group schedule and open spots for new members. 

MomMe Group

A group for Moms of babies (newborn-3 y/o)

Motherhood is beautiful—but it's also complex, exhausting, and at times, isolating. If you're a mom navigating the early years of parenting, MomMe Group is for you.

This 6-week support and therapy group is designed exclusively for moms of children ages 0–3. Whether you're a first-time mom or further along in your journey, you're welcome here.

This is a moms-only space—created intentionally to focus on you, not just as a caregiver, but as a whole person. Your well-being matters, and your experience is central to your family’s story.

Led by therapist and fellow mom Briani Shorter, the group offers a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to reflect, share, and connect with others who understand the unique challenges and joys of early motherhood.

Why “MomMe”?

The name MomMe is a reflection of the dual identity so many mothers navigate—being a mom and being me. Your personal wellness, growth, and identity are not separate from your motherhood—they’re an essential part of it. This group is a space to honor that connection and explore how to care for both.

What to Expect

Each week features a mix of guided discussions, personal reflection, and community-building activities. Sessions include mindfulness practices, journaling, and other creative tools to support your emotional well-being and growth as a mother and as a person.

Weekly Topics Include:

  • The transition to motherhood

  • Managing the mental load

  • Shifting identity and redefining self

  • Building emotional resilience

  • Coping with stress, anxiety, and depression

  • Clarifying your values and defining your unique path in motherhood

  • Creating meaningful connection and support in early motherhood
