Perinatal Loss Support & Grief Group
ACTUAL DATES AND TIMES TBD:
The Centered Space Psychology Group is offering an 8-week Perinatal Loss Support & Grief Group starting in October 2026.
This virtual group, led by Dr. Julia Norman, is designed for individuals who have experienced perinatal loss, (such as miscarriage, stillbirth, and early infant loss) and are seeking support and community during this time.
Perinatal loss is a disenfranchised form of loss, meaning it often lacks recognition. It is with this in mind that this group has been founded, as our primary goal is to create a space in which individuals can gain support, community, and recognition while processing and grieving their loss.
Perinatal loss can evoke feelings of sadness, depression, shame, anger, and guilt. This group serves to provide a space to process the various emotions and thoughts that can arise when navigating this unique loss experience.
Starting October 2026, 8 weeks
When & Where: TBD, virtual with possibility of in person in Park Slope if preferred by the group
Fee: $60 per group session
Interested people can email Dr. Julia Norman at DrJulia@centeredny.com or book a free consultation directly with Dr. Norman here.
