Our counseling professionals at Assurance Healthcare & Counseling Center offer various groups and/or workshops to support you – our member family – on your journey towards mental wellness. Workshops and groups are updated seasonally, so check back for upcoming opportunities!
CALM
Join Holly Porter, LMHC Tuesdays at 11am for psychoeducation and exploration about how to move away from the anxious response and into a lifestyle of calm.
This group is ongoing, so jump in any week that works for your schedule.
Healthy Boundaries
Do you often feel overwhelmed? Do you feel resentment toward other people when they ask you for help? Do you overshare with folks you don’t really know? Do you have a REALLY hard time saying no?
If you’ve been nodding your head to these questions, then you might consider our Healthy Boundaries Workshop.
Bradley Smith, LSWAIC leads a 3-Part Workshop where you can expect to learn the meaning of healthy boundaries, practice how to effectively communicate those boundaries, and explore how to manage the guilt you might feel in the process.
Registration is free, but open to current members only.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Are the above groups or workshops considered “group therapy?”
Yes and no. Yes in the sense that they will ask you to engage as much as you are comfortable and you have the chance to learn and grow alongside others in the group. No in the sense that you are not establishing a therapeutic relationship with any of our counselors by attending these events.
Where are these groups and workshops held?
Each event is held in-person at our new location: 3611 River Road, Suite 200, Yakima, WA 98902.
What should I bring with me?
Bring your coffee, tea, or other non-alcoholic beverage. If your workshop is going through a book (like Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence), then bring your copy of that book.
Can my child(ren) attend?
Anybody ages 17+ are welcome to join (please have each person attending complete the registration process).
Can I invite my friend who is not a member?
We are currently only providing these groups and workshops to current, active members with Assurance Healthcare & Counseling Center.
Can I attend multiple groups or workshops?
Absolutely. Please only register for those groups or workshops you are able to attend (using the RSVP buttons above), as space is limited for each event.
