Financial anxiety is an ongoing sense of stress, worry, or fear related to financial matters.
Anyone can experience financial anxiety, regardless of income level, job status, or specific financial situation. It can stem from past experiences, societal pressures, or uncertainty about the future. This anxiety often affects decision-making and can lead to avoidance of finances altogether.
Mindful Money will provide a supportive environment where you can explore the roots of financial stress, learn practical coping skills, and feel empowered to make positive changes. Working with others who experience similar challenges can also reduce isolation and foster motivation.
Mindful Money is designed to address the emotional and psychological aspects of finances. It does not provide and is not a substitute for direct financial planning or debt management advice.

FAQs
Is this group right for me?
If you’re looking for help with creating a financial plan or investment strategy, tax preparation, legal financial advice, credit repair, or debt consolidation services, this group is not the right fit. However, if you want to explore the emotional and psychological side of your relationship with money—like fear, shame, avoidance, or self-worth, then you’re in the right place.
Are there any prerequisites to join the group
No prior experience is required to join the group. Mindful Money is open to anyone experiencing financial anxiety or avoidance and looking for support in creating a healthier relationship with money. All you need is a willingness to reflect, share (as you feel comfortable), and engage in the process.
Will I have to share personal details?
No. While participants are welcome to discuss their experiences, no one is required to share specific financial details. The focus is on understanding emotions and patterns around money rather than disclosing personal financial details.
Is attendance required for every session?
Yes, consistent attendance is strongly encouraged and expected. Each session builds on the last, and showing up each week helps foster a sense of safety, trust, and connection within the group. Because this is a small, closed group, your presence matters—not just for your own growth, but for the group as a whole. We understand that emergencies happen, but making this commitment to yourself and your fellow group members is an important part of the therapeutic process
How will confidentiality be managed?
Confidentiality is crucial. Participants will agree upon and commit to confidentiality guidelines at the beginning of the group to foster trust and openness.
