Grove: A Healing Collective

02/22/2026

Survival sometimes looks quiet.

It looks like carrying what comforts you while learning to walk forward anyway.
It looks like adapting when life didn’t unfold the way you expected.
It looks like finding safety wherever you can- even in small things.

Healing doesn’t always look strong or confident. Sometimes it looks tender. Sometimes it looks uncertain. Sometimes it simply looks like continuing.

We believe survival itself is evidence of resilience. And when survival is met with compassion, support, and connection, it can slowly become healing.

If you’re in a season of just getting through, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re surviving. And that matters. 💚

New Episode Out Now! 🎧

Today on Grove: Beyond the Couch, Melissa and Susan are joined by Seth Crabtree & Mike Giaimo
for a deep-dive conversation that bridges therapy and real-world compassion. They unpack what it’s like to meet people at some of the hardest moments in their lives, how professionals handle stress and burnout, and why clarity and empathy matter more than sugarcoating. There’s wisdom, honesty, and even a few laughs in this one.

If you’re curious about how mental health shows up in all corners of life—from courtrooms to community—this episode is for you.

Seth and Mike also host their own podcast, Harmless Error, where they explore real stories, professional lessons, and the humanity behind the headlines. If you enjoy this episode, be sure to check them out as well!

Important note: Listening to this podcast is not therapy. It may be therapeutic, but it isn’t a substitute for individualized mental-health treatment. If you’re looking for a therapist, we’d love to help you get connected.

Therapy doesn’t have to be scary.
It can be warm.
It can be human.
And yes… sometimes it can even be fun. 💚

We love what we do — and we love the people we get to do it with.

Spring is in the air, and Spring Break Camp at Grove is almost here! 🌼 🌱

Children ages 3–12 are invited to join us for our Spring Break Camps, with campers split into two mixed-age groups meeting at the same time at Grove: 🌼 Daisy Dreamers Camp (ages 3–6)
🌿 Adventure Seekers Camp (ages 7–12)

Our camps are inclusive, flexible, and fun. We create a supportive environment where children are encouraged to practice kindness and respect for everyone, while naturally building social-emotional skills through play and activities. We also love giving kids space for creative freedom, teamwork, and connection.

💛 These camps are FREE, thanks to our nonprofit.
✨ Optional donations are welcomed and help us continue providing accessible, no-cost care and community programs for families.

We can’t wait to see our returning Daisy Dreamers and Adventure Seekers—and we’re so excited to welcome new friends!

This week felt heavy.
So today, we paused.

Before we can hold space for others, we have to regulate ourselves too.
Our team gathered for a live sound bath—a moment to breathe, soften, and reset together.

Thanks to our own Elizabeth Mountz, we have access to yoga and sound baths right here at Grove, and we wanted to give you a peek into what that looks like.

A sound bath on video doesn’t compare to being there in person—but if we had to describe it?
* Like a weighted blanket for your ears
* Like a warm bowl of soup on a cold day

This is what care for the caregivers looks like. 💚
