MAP Group Programs

Integrative group experiences for families, teens, and expatriates

The power of shared regulation

Group programs at MAP Integrative Therapies are designed to offer depth, connection, and shared regulation in a carefully held environment.

​

Groups allow participants to:

​

  • feel less alone

  • learn through shared experience

  • regulate in community

  • grow without pressure to perform

 

Each group is intentionally small, structured, and guided with care.

Group therapy

Families & Parents

Groups that support caregivers and families in:

  • nervous system regulation

  • parenting with awareness and attunement

  • communication and emotional literacy

  • navigating stress, transitions, and developmental challenges

Teens & Young Adults

  • Groups designed to support teens and young adults with:

  • emotional regulation and anxiety support

  • identity development

  • self-expression and confidence

  • nervous system awareness and creative integration

  • These groups are age-appropriate, respectful, and non-pathologizing.

Brazilian Expatriates

Culturally attuned group programs for Brazilians living abroad, including:

  • emotional regulation during migration and adaptation

  • identity, belonging, and loss

  • family dynamics in cross-cultural contexts

How group programs work

Group programs typically include:

  • closed groups with consistent participants

  • weekly or mentioned cycles (6–10 weeks)

  • live online sessions

  • guided creative and experiential practices

  • reflective integration and discussion

 

Groups are facilitated in a way that prioritizes emotional safety, choice, and respect. Sharing is always optional.

Why group work?

Group settings offer something individual work cannot always provide:

  • resonance and normalization

  • relational regulation

  • witnessing and being witnessed

  • learning through shared experience

In a regulated group, growth feels less heavy and more sustainable.

What group work is not

  • MAP group programs are not:

  • therapy groups with forced disclosure

  • lecture-based classes

  • performance-oriented spaces

  • They are experiential, supportive, and intentionally paced.

Upcoming groups


Group offerings vary throughout the year and are announced as they open.​
