SOFFA Support Group for Trans Partners

The SOFFA (Significant Others, Friends, Family, and Allies of transgender and gender expansive folks) Support Group is a drop-in style group for people in relationship or partnership with transgender and gender expansive people. While the support group is not a therapy process group, it may be therapeutic. Each group member will have an opportunity to share, connect with others, and explore their relationships with transgender and gender expansive people. The trained group facilitators create space to acknowledge and meet each member as they are while also providing evidence-based knowledge about transgender and gender expansive people that promotes mental health for all.

*Must pre-register for group.*

Meets online the 1st & 3rd Monday of each month from 7-8pm.
Facilitators:
Brooke Rundle (she/they), LPCC ; Bill Heaston (he/him), MSW, SWC

This is a Rocky Mountain Equality Group hosted in partnership with Umbrella Collective.


Long-term Adult Therapy Group (online)

This long-term adult psychotherapy group is for all people (cis, non-cis, trans, queer, het alike). Group is a place where people have an opportunity to find deep connection of profound intimacy with each other and can learn to deeply know and appreciate themself through expressing thoughts, feelings and somatic sensations, as well as by receiving similar feedbacks through the eyes of other group members. While there is great risk in showing up vulnerably for yourself and in front of others this way, there is great potential for meeting intimacy needs that our world and individuals in it so desperately long for. The group is designed as a “here and now” process experience: members are invited to focus on how they function in the immediate moment and in relationship to others. This group is best fit for people who are well resourced, have individual psychotherapy experience that is ready to deepen into group, and/or have previous group psychotherapy experience. Members are interested in understanding themselves better and growing in a supportive group dynamic. This modern psychodynamic therapy group is led by Li Brookens, a certified group psychotherapist, via Telehealth for people who reside anywhere in Colorado and Idaho. Below is an examples of the type of process group Li runs. To get more information on this group, ask your Umbrella Collective therapist or fill out a Appointment Request Form to get started. Applicants must complete a group consultation with Li to join the long-term group. 

*Group forming now for late Summer, early Fall 2025. Meeting day/time will be arranged with group referrals.

This video 👉🏼 is a trailer from a series on YouTube called GROUP portraying modern group analysis, the type of group Li facilitates. You can watch 2 seasons of this to get acquainted with this type of process group. Season 2 occurred during COVID and represents the virtual telehealth modality that Li will utilize for this particular group as well.


Consultation Group for Licensed Professionals

Consultation groups are offered for independently practicing mental health professions as a way of connecting and thinking with others on clinical and practice administration challenges. The group is facilitated with a modern analytic lens and is designed to be supportive to people who can talk both about clinical practice and also make space for the very real life obstacles that interfere and often intersect with our clinical practice. Often people are in peer-facilitated consultation groups that flop without a consistent leader. I have spent the last decade + evolving my group facilitation skills to run a consultation group that has a long term progressive trajectory for members. I am inspired by modern psychodynamic group techniques and have foundational knowledge and skills in psychodynamic and anti-oppressive practices. If this sounds good to you, reach out to set up a group consultation with me and I will share my current group availability with you.

Meets online, times vary.
