Support Groups & Tools

Choosing a support group or app can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already in emotional distress. I only recommend tools I’ve personally reviewed or used with clients. Each one supports a different part of the healing journey—whether that’s setting healthy boundaries, building daily accountability, or connecting with others who understand what you’re going through.
