At Linking the Gap, we offer a calm, welcoming space to slow down, create, and reconnect—no art experience needed. These counselor-led groups are designed to gently support emotional processing, stress relief, and self-awareness through the use of creative expression and mindfulness.

Each session blends simple grounding practices, optional prompts (with full freedom for your own expression), and open art-making in a small, supportive group (max 8). The environment is intentionally low-pressure and nonjudgmental—there is no expectation to create something “good,” and no pressure to share unless you’d like to. This is a space where you can show up exactly as you are.

Using art as a tool can help access and process emotions that are sometimes difficult to put into words. Many participants find that creating in this way brings a sense of calm, clarity, and connection, both within themselves and, at times, with others in the group.

These groups are open to teens and adults and may be especially supportive for those feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply in need of a consistent space to pause, reflect, and reset. Whether you attend once or return regularly, the intention is to offer a steady, supportive environment that meets you where you are.

Group Times
We offer separate groups for teens and adults each week in a consistent, welcoming format:

Adults (18+): Mondays, 4:00–6:00 PM (starting June 29, 2026)
Teens (12–18): Thursdays, 5:00–7:00 PM (starting July 2, 2026)

Groups are held in person at Linking the Gap, with a maximum of 8 participants to allow space for individual reflection and optional sharing. You’re welcome to join for a single session or attend regularly—whatever feels most supportive for you.
