Ellen M Rugg, MA, MSW, LICSW, CPG: I facilitate Women’s Personal Growth Groups (secure Zoom), based in Seattle and open to women throughout WA State. These supportive, facilitated groups foster connection, greater self-understanding, and meaningful growth in a confidential setting.

Why I Love Womens' Groups: For more than 35 years, I’ve had the joy and privilege of facilitating women’s groups. In group, I create and foster a safe working space, encourage supportive community among members, and build group cohesion.

As a group member, you have a wonderful opportunity to learn more about yourself as you gain support, insight, and perspective from other members.

Things often arise in group that don’t surface in individual therapy due of the richness of the group's relational plane. This is one of the reasons that a group offers a unique space to learn more about yourself and how you relate to others.

Group often becomes a highly valued space in which to have meaningful conversations that can be missing elsewhere in life.
