The Guild
(High School Edition)

SESSION DATES:
January 15 - May 28, 2026
Thursdays @ 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
(For 9th-12th Grade High School Girls, Ages 14-18 Years old)
High school can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to friends, fitting in, or just feeling like yourself. If you’ve ever felt out of sync with the people around you, you’re not the only one.
The Guild is a fun, welcoming group where we build confidence in social situations, practice conversation skills, manage emotions, and explore self-identity and belonging. The group is semi-structured, allowing space for natural flow and connection while also learning and practicing new skills.
We are a neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ friendly space designed to support teens who may feel out of sync socially and are looking for genuine connection.
Who is this group for?
Cisgender girls and teens who were assigned female at birth (AFAB) who may identify somewhere along the LGBTQ+ spectrum. While gender and sexuality aren’t the focus, we ensure the space is inclusive and affirming.
You might be a good fit if you:
• Experience ADHD, autism (especially Asperger’s-type), or anxiety
• Enjoy anime, art, writing, fantasy, gaming, or D&D
• Struggle with friendships or feeling included
• Feel overwhelmed about high school or what’s next
*Open to existing Guild members.
*15min Zoom Pre-Admission Interview is required prior to registration for new clients.
