Have you grabbed a spot at Mare's Geeking Out: Where Fandom Meets Meaning next session where the focus will be on KPOP Demon Hunters! Happening tonight!

We'll talk about what it means to lose your voice, explore the patterns we've chosen to hide from the people in our lives, and how we all crave acceptance.

Remember when you watched that show or movie that changed your life? Made you see the world in a whole new way, felt represented like you never had been before. Now’s your chance to further explore your favorite on screen adventures and how they can affect us so deeply. Join associate professional counselor and major geek Mare Hiles (they/she) for one or all of a pay-what-you-can 5-segment therapeutic discussion series about some of your favorite geeky media.

📆 When: Tuesday, June 23rd
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
💻 Format: Virtual
💲 Cost: Pay-what-you-can

Interested? Reach out to Mare at [email protected]

Modern Path is excited to celebrate Karen Lill, MA, LPC, ATR, ACS and her contribution to the newly released publication Q***r Worldmaking in Art Therapy Theory and Praxis. We are honored to highlight her chapter and professional work.

"Next month marks 2 years since I joined 37 art therapists, from all over the world, to create a much needed q***r art therapy textbook, under the leadership of Zachary D. Van Den Berg. This book, "Q***r Worldmaking in Art Therapy Theory and Praxis" is out now!

Through the month of June, there is a 20% discount code, 26AFLY1, to use on the Routledge website directly to order this amazing book of 25 chapters about different intersections of art therapy+q***r people+the other complex identities and experiences we also have.

I authored the chapter about chronic illness, "When the Body Is Sickening, It's Serving Pain and Symptoms: Q***r and Living with Chronic Illness." I'm so grateful for the opportunity to share just a small piece of what I've learned from my lived experience and what my clients and colleagues have taught me."

Don't forget to use the discount code: 26AFLY1

Join the Virtual Befriend Your Body Group hosted by Sofia Siraj, MS LPC, NCC!

Befriend your body at any size is a supportive, affirming coaching group designed for plus-size folx who are ready to build a kinder, more respectful relationship with their body, without shrinking, fixing, or “earning” worth.

In this group, we will gently but intentionally unlearn diet culture and diet industry myths, unpack internalized fatphobia, and explore how systems of oppression (including racism, ableism, heternormativity, and sizeism) shape our body image experiences. We honor that body image is not one-size-fits-all, and that your relationship with your body is deeply personal, political, and shaped by your lived identity.

🌸 Have you reached out yet to Yasmine Wallace, LMSW, for their Shame Resilience Group? No better time than now!

This group offers a supportive and comfortable space for individuals who are beginning trauma therapy and would benefit from additional connection before moving into deeper work.
Participants will explore early foundations of trauma processing, including building self-esteem, strengthening emotional awareness, and gently lowering the internal walls that can limit growth.
This group is an ideal referral option for therapists who are preparing their clients for stage 2 trauma work. Members are invited to come as they are and practice using their voice in a space that centers safety, support, and shared experience.
