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 most 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.
Please call our office at 823-4650 to sign up for an upcoming workshop.
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.
Upcoming workshops:
Monday, July 7th, 14th, & 21st at 1pm
Friday, August 15th, 22nd & 29th at 11am
Please call our office at 823-4650 to sign up.
Collage Art Therapy
It’s back! Our counseling intern Lexi Carpenter is leading a weekly Collage Art Therapy Workshop – an interactive open-group that focuses on the therapeutic art form of intuitive collage.
Members can expect to engage their own intuitive artistic expression through the technique of collage. Collage art therapy is a simple form of art therapy that can help you see your inner life in a fresh way.
All supplies are provided; so grab your tea, channel your inner Bob Ross, and come join us! Each group session is limited to 12 members so registration is required.
We’re currently meeting most Thursdays from 2-3pm. Please call our office at 823-4650 to sign up.

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 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.
