The Conscious Partnership: Long COVID support group + couples intensives available
Dear BPN parents,
I hope this announcement finds you held in supportive community, and resourced as much as possible in these increasingly intense and scary times in our country!
Announcing the start of a new support group and currently availability for virtual couples therapy intensives below:
For Long COVID support:
Long COVID is all too common and isolating for people struggling. COVID is real, it's still here and it affects people disproportionately. Some have been struggling with the aftermath of a COVID infection that turns into long term symptoms like crushing fatigue, chronic pain, difficulty with blood pressure or inflammation as well as depression, anxiety and other mental health struggles. For some, they are able to manage most day to day tasks and others, find themselves struggling with disability.
With a calling to support adults - whether it's parents or other community members, I will be offering a supportive 8 week group that covers common struggles with some coping tools and an opportunity to give and receive group support. Speaking to a Long COVID MD recently about this group, they agreed that supporting our mental health is pivotal for recovery.
We will be sharing about topics for 6 of the 8 groups including
- pacing
- pain management
- self advocacy
- nervous system awareness
- grief
- resiliency & community building
Here's an instagram post outlining details about the group too: https://www.instagram.com/p/DIPQc7bBpN-/
30 minute individual intake appointment is $125 and each group is $75
A full group 8 week commitment is required to sign up!
Start date is 5/14/25, recurring Wednesdays from noon - 1:30pm PST
group is VIRTUAL for anyone in California or Hawai'i (where I'm licensed)

Please reach out to me on my website above to fill out a questionnaire and set up an intake appointment as a starting point!
For Couples Intensives:
Doing couples work is so important, especially when you can recognize there's ongoing challenges, pain points and wounding that you need support with because it's not getting better despite your best efforts together. We all have relational edges, places where we struggle or are still learning to grow, learning about our own needs or boundaries, and learning how to love our partners better.
Working with couples since 2011, I've found that doing longer sessions can help with some deep and profound shifts that shorter sessions can't quite allow for.
For intensives, I offer 2.5 hour long sessions weekly for a month, then drop down to a monthly cadence to support ongoing maintenance. Each 150 minute session is $900
This structure allows for a much deeper, more thorough starting point. While it is more investment up front with time, energy and money, it can also help couples who have been chronically stuck gain traction with change, or to help those who have been meaning to do some relationship healing for a while, an opportunity to dive in. It's also great for parents who have a full schedule and limited capacity to make a weekly commitment to therapy work.

My approach is racially and culturally responsive, attachment focused (EFT), neuro-affirming and trauma informed. I tend to see a lot of interracial or intercultural couples, and especially love supporting ADHDers, gifted, Autistic folks or other neurodivergent partners learn to understand and respect each other's differences while learning how to collaborate and love each other better!
Please reach out to me on my website to set up a free initial phone call to discuss starting an intensive process! I currently have a Tuesday evening and a Friday afternoon open for an intensive starting in May.
With care and solidarity,
Natalie
