Beginning May 2010 Our
mission is to provide support, resources/psychoeducation,
camaraderie and a sense of belonging to first time
mothers aged 40+. The group will include women who have
their first child by the age of 40+ within the past two
years.
Groups will meet weekly for 1 1/4 hours, on an open
ended basis. There will be two groups offered for a fee
of $75 per group. The Monday group will meet from 12:00
p.m. to 1:15 p.m. The Wednesday group will meet from
10:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.
Jennifer Levy, LCPC will facilitate the groups. She has
been in practice for 10+ years and has clinical
expertise in working with women on issues related to
prenatal and postpartum adjustment, relationship
patterns, and stage of life transitions. Contact Ms.

affect our relationships with ourselves and with others,
and strike at the core of our very identity."
