Queer & Connected: Being You, Together is an 8-session support group for LGBTQ+ adults who want more than surface-level conversation. Led by Kelly Karydis, MHC-LP, CASAC-T, this group is built around real connection — the kind where you don't have to explain the context before you can get to the actual thing you're feeling.


This group is for LGBTQ+ adults at any stage of their identity journey — whether still exploring, navigating relationship patterns, or carrying the emotional weight of moving through a world that regularly asks you to make yourself easier to understand. If you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or like you're constantly translating your experience for others, this space skips that part.


Participants can expect to:

  • Process identity, belonging, and relationship experiences with people who share the context

  • Build self-awareness without having to justify or explain who you are

  • Develop more confidence in expressing yourself authentically

  • Feel less alone in the specific, real things LGBTQ+ people navigate

  • Leave with connections that go beyond surface-level

You'll leave with greater clarity about yourself, language for what you've been carrying, and at least one real connection that didn't require translation.
