✨ Now Enrolling: Women’s Therapy Group | South Austin ✨

Are you longing for a safe place to be vulnerable, understood, and not so alone in your pain?

We are currently looking to fill a 14-week women’s therapy group designed to support healing, self-compassion, and nervous system regulation together, in community. 🤍

Inspired by Try Softer by Aundi Kolber, this group gently explores how trauma, our bodies, and our emotions are deeply connected and how healing happens best when we don’t have to do it alone.

What you’ll experience:
• A safe, supportive community of women
• Space to understand and process your story
• Compassionate feedback and shared breakthroughs
• Tools for stress reduction and nervous system regulation
• Learning to listen to your body and practice grounding self-care
• Increased self-compassion, resilience, and connection

Details:
• Begins February 2026
• Meets weekly for 1.5 hours
• South Austin (in person)
• $70/week

Group Facilitator:
Led by Lorri Angell, LPC-Associate, supervised by Cristy Ragland, LPC-S, LMFT-S, RPT-S, EMDR-Certified.

Lorri brings a deeply compassionate, attachment-focused, trauma-informed approach and holds space as a fellow “wounded healer,” honoring that no pain is ever wasted.

Instead of trying harder, muscling through, white knuckling and avoiding your emotions and body signals, in our groups, we learn and grow together in the skills of “trying softer” - embodying self-compassion towards our stories, our emotions, our self-talk, our bodies, and our relationships.

Click on the links below to learn more about our “Softer Together” groups and to request a free discovery call to find out if this group might be right for you.

We will be closing applications Friday, February 6 and will begin our 14 week groups the last week of February, ending by the last week of May.

As a straight woman and therapist who was raised in a conservative home, I am making my allyship public to help support the partner of my dear friend recovering from a painful surgery and so is temporarily unable to work. ❤️‍🩹🙏🏼

Anyone from the LGBTQIA+ community and allies are welcome to come for a safe, gentle nervous reset in a group ear acupuncture session this Sunday at 4- 5:30 pm.

Two other therapists who are also licensed to do 5NP ear acupuncture will be needling ears with me 😊 (See below posts for more info/ pics/ videos).

We will have limited spots so reserve your spot as soon as possible! $25 each is the suggested donation (more if it’s on your heart.) 100% of proceeds go directly to Jess!

Once you register, I’ll send you more info including where exactly to meet!

For anyone who is not in Austin and/or cannot attend and would like to donate, I will put her Venmo in the comments for those who would like to avoid the fees. Her “Go fund me” to read more is in comments as well.

Thank you for reading and considering (and sharing with others!)

PS. If any conservatives are genuinely curious to understand why I am an ally, you are welcome to private message me.re

Being part of this group last semester was such an honor and gift. Witnessing women support one another, grow in self-compassion, and feel more at home in their own bodies is deeply fulfilling. ❤️❤️❤️

Have you been noticing signals from your body, like tension, fatigue, or unease but aren't sure how to respond with kindness?

You're not alone. Many women carry stress and anxiety quietly, longing for a gentler way forward.

As one of the therapists at Compassion Counseling Group, I feel incredibly grateful for each of my clients and the honor of walking along side them on their journeys of healing and growth.

As we come to the close of 2025, we want to pause and reflect with deep gratitude. 💛

This year has been filled with growth, healing, resilience, and connection and none of it would be possible without our incredible team. Each member of Compassion Counseling Group brings heart, dedication, and compassion into the lives of those we serve every single day.

To our clients, community partners, and supporters: thank you for trusting us and allowing us to walk alongside you on your journeys. We are honored to be part of your stories.

Here’s to all we’ve accomplished together in 2025 and to the hope, healing, and new beginnings ahead in the coming year. ✨
