group therapy at half moon
Our groups are located in person in our Downtown Raleigh office or online via HIPAA compliant Google Meet. We provide a safe, accessible, and comfortable space for all clients to access support from those that share their lived experiences. Groups are facilitated by a licensed clinician or graduate student intern who is able to guide conversation and ensure safety and group cohesion.

Late Bloomers
Maybe you're navigating big identity shifts, figuring out how to show up more fully, or grieving what never was. Maybe you're thrilled and terrified in equal measure. Maybe you're just wondering, is anyone else figuring this out this late too?
You’re not alone.
Late Bloomers is a 6-week therapist-led support group for adults who came out as LGBTQIA+ later in life. It’s a space for reflection, laughter, processing, and community. No pretense, no pressure—just real humans showing up in the mess and magic of becoming.
What We’ll Explore:
-
Identity shifts and internalized narratives
-
Navigating grief, joy, and "late" timelines
-
Rebuilding, renegotiating and/or reconsidering relationships with family and friends
-
Queer dating, partnership, and chosen family
-
Community connection (and fears around “not queer enough”)
-
What it means to live fully, now—not someday
Group will be facilitated by Brianna Hicks, LCMHC, a fellow late bloomer who understands the nuances of being an adult reckoning with their sexual identity. All clients will attend a 30 minute prescreening to ensure goodness of fit, and those clients who do not already have a therapist, are at risk for suicidality, or have current or domestic violence occurring will be encouraged to connect for alternative services.
