Group program
Transitions circle
For adults in the middle of a big change: a move, a new job or the loss of one, a divorce, a new role as a caregiver.
Day and time
Thursdays, 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., for six weeks.
Who leads it
Aliyah Briscoe and Dianne Albright, in person in Greensboro.
Who sits with you
Six to eight adults at different points in a change of their own.
Sessions
What an evening looks like
- 01
Name the change
Each evening has one theme, such as what we are leaving, what is uncertain, or who can help.
- 02
Listen
Members speak in turn, with time for the group to respond. Passing is fine.
- 03
Plan the week
We finish with one small step for the week, chosen by you.
How we work
The method
Each evening has one theme and one short exercise, drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and narrative therapy: writing the change as a story, then deciding what comes next in it.
Plainly
What this is not
Not career or legal advice
The clinicians cannot advise on a job, a lease or a divorce settlement.
Not a place where you must share
You choose what to say, and passing is always fine.
Not a crisis service
If you are in crisis, call or text 988. A group cannot respond between evenings.
Time and money
How long, how often, and how it is paid
Length and frequency
Six weekly evenings. After that, you and your clinician decide whether to continue in another group, begin individual sessions, or stop.
How it is paid
Insurance, paying yourself and reduced-fee spots are explained on one page. Your fee is given in writing before you start.
How fees work
Questions
Three questions about this program
Does my change have to be recent?
No. People come when a change is new and when it has been with them for a while.
Can a couple or a friend join together?
No. Each member joins on their own, so everyone can speak freely.
What if my change is too private to talk about?
You decide what to share. Many evenings are about the feelings around a change, not its details.
Ready to start with intake?
Intake is a 50-minute first visit with one clinician. You choose a first step together.
