This processing group is a brave space to talk through issues that come up when living in a cis-heteronormative society, and the obstacles & joys that come in gender expansive experiences. We take insurance for these sessions; out of pocket cost is $25. Contact Kathleen at kathleen@roomtobreathechicago.com to register.
