Be. Seen is a mind, body, spirit sibling support group designed for school-aged siblings of individuals with special and unique abilities and needs.
Siblings of children with these considerations can sometimes feel isolated, overlooked, and need a space for emotional support, cognitive processing, and body integration. We SEE you! That is why at Be. we offer a group designed specifically with those needs in mind.
Be. Seen is a group that meets biweekly, and the group design is structured around two types of meetings.
Week One
One week we will explore somatic processing through therapeutic movement, mindfulness, sound, essential oils, and breathwork to help participants calm the system, restore and relax, and re-energize and rebalance. We will meet together in the light and open Be. You Yoga Studio so everyone has lots of space.
Week Two
The following week is a process oriented group where the participants are able to feel seen and supported as they are invited to freely discuss life experiences in a safe and nurturing space with individuals who are moving through similar situations. This portion of the session will also be used to help participants feel heard, validated, and understood as they learn additional ways to cope with areas of stress associated. We will gather together in the comfortable, nourishing Be. Uplifted studio to foster a sense of connection and closeness.
Participants will benefit from coming in each new week, as we will continue to grow and build upon experiences from week-to-week. But please feel free to join us at any time; it doesn’t matter which session you attend first.
The body focused portion of the group is guided on a rotating schedule by Carey Sorenson, PhD, RYT - 200 and Courtney Steuer LCSW, CSAC, RYT - 200. The emotional and cognitive processing and skills building portion of the group is guided by Jaycie Westphal LPC - IT. Jaycie is currently supervised and in training with Dr. Carey Sorenson.

Please Note:
This group is not intended to diagnose or treat but rather provide adjunct support to your child. This is an open group format which means we welcome new participants each week to the movement and process portions of the group. The group members may change each session. With that, no matter how long your child attends, we ask that each participant respects the nature and sensitivity of the information that may be shared by upholding and respecting the confidentiality of the other members’ information.
At Be. we aim to make our offerings accessible for all who desire to attend. If you have special considerations that you feel you want to process please email Carey Sorenson at be@beholisticcenter.com.
