Born This Way
Discovering your Self-Identity
What does self-identity mean to you?
We no longer think of identity as only our sexual identity or gender identity, but more of a fluid self-identity; essentially who we are. The GenZ generation has truly changed the definition of identity by getting rid of those categories and letting it be unique to everyone. And we’re here for it!
As this fluidity has allowed for more acceptance, it might also have opened the space to recognize questions you have about your identity. If you are a teen experiencing this, you might search for support as you navigate these identity concerns. But you don’t know where to turn to get it. Perhaps you’ve tried to reach out to friends and family members only to be met with judgment, inappropriate questions, or hostility. Or don’t even know where to begin the conversation. A lack of youth groups and group therapy for teens who are on this journey can leave you feeling isolated and frustrated.
Therapyology is proud and honored to offer the Born This Way group for teens and tweens!
Our groups can provide you with a safe environment to explore your identity surrounded by other teens dealing with similar concerns. In this space, you will find a community that truly gets and understands what you’re going through. Over time, you will realize you’re not alone and you’re loved for who you are at your core. Furthermore, you will have a group of people who are available to offer support and compassion as you navigate life’s many challenges and discover your true identity.
Born This Way: Discovering Your Self-Identity
A group for teens in Michigan, Arizona, & California
Groups incorporate discussions, activities, and games around a chosen topic for the day. We care about choosing topics that are important to our group members however common topics include:
- Questioning your identity
- Announcing identity to family and friends
- Pronouns and preferred names
- Navigating the tricky task of letting loved ones know new pronouns and names
- Coping with negative responses and rejection from friends and family
- Fighting against discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, and stigma
- Mental health concerns
- Low self-esteem
- Loneliness
- Bullying and other forms of trauma
- Romance and Dating
- School and workplace challenges such as acceptance and inclusion
- Advocating for your needs
Our therapists understand all the identities you’re holding on to.
Furthermore, we acknowledge that fluidity of your identities; whether your questions are with your gender, sexuality, ethnicity, physical/mental abilities, religion- we know this can make your life even more complicated and add stressors. So, we explore how your identities impact each other and address any challenges you may be facing as a result.
What can you expect from Born This Way?
You will have the ability to connect with other teens in your age group who are going through similar life issues and build a network of support. We offer in-person therapy groups for tweens and young adults. Our groups are facilitated by licensed mental health professionals. The benefits of an identity focused group are numerous. But perhaps one of the greatest benefits is the comfort it offers. Our support group for teens and tweens is a safe place where you can speak your truth. We are here to listen, support, and encourage.
Ultimately, the goal of our groups is to give participants the chance to share their stories and struggles in a judgment-free zone. Therapyology’s “Born This Way” group for teens can help you explore your identity, improve your self-esteem, and make new friends. Together, we will learn new skills to help manage tough emotions and find community with other kids and teens just like you.
Not sure if Born This Way is the right fit for you?
Perhaps, you would prefer to talk to a therapist individually. Maybe you’re not quite comfortable sharing with a group of your peers yet. Or our group therapy sessions don’t work within your schedule. If this is the case, we hope you will consider individual therapy with a compassionate and skilled therapist at Therapyology.
