What is GroupNYM?

GroupNYM is a place to be heard. Our goal is listening to understand and listening with compassion. We value what you have to say and look forward to hearing from you.

What is the purpose of GroupNYM?

GroupNYM created a safe space for people to be heard. Being seen and heard is a fundamental human need and right. Unfortunately, not everyone has someone to listen to them with compassion. We want to be that person for our local and global communities. We are here for you. You are NOT alone. We are here to listen and understand.

So, can I talk to you about anything?

You are free to discuss anything you like, with some restrictions. We have a code of honor, we do not accept rude, disrespectful, threatening, illegal, or overtly sexual behavior. GroupNYM is a safe, respectful space for people to share their stories. Our only request is you respect our code of honor. GroupNYM is not here to judge you. GroupNYM is here to listen with compassion.

Is this the same as therapy?

No, we are not therapists. GroupNYM does NOT provide mental health services. GroupNYM is NOT licensed as mental health practitioners. GroupNYM is NOT here to diagnose or treat any mental health issues. GroupNYM is here to provide a safe, respectufl space for you to speak and feel heard. GroupNYM is here to listen, understand, and support you with compassion. GroupNYM strongly recommends you reach out to a licensed professional if you are in crisis or seek help with mental health. If you or someone you know is dealing with suicidal thoughts, we kindly ask you to reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1 800 273 8255.

How does a session work?

It’s easy! Our consultations are free of charge. If after the consultation you feel GroupNYM is a good fit, we will schedule you for a one-hour session via Zoom or phone. GroupNYM is here for you to feel valued and heard. GroupNYM listens with compassion.
