Group Counseling
Our Fishing Therapy Group runs from April-September at a private pond in Boulder, Colorado and offers supportive group support for family and professional caregivers experiencing anxiety, depression, and grief. These groups use therapeutic fishing and community building to foster connection, healing, and restoration in nature.

Our Video Game Therapy Group runs from October-March and takes place in a private discord channel for clients and other mental health practitioners only. We hang out, chat, check-in, and challenge the doubts, fears, and fight the loneliness and fatigue of caregiving. Resources, weekly group discussions, and space to chill is yours when you join the Caregiver Gaming community at Contemplative Caregiver.

Upcoming Events

Brush With Grief Programs

You’re also welcome to bring fur, feathers, or mementos from a pet, or hair from a loved one to include in your piece.
