“The wounds inflicted by parents are often invisible, yet they echo through a lifetime.” — Alice Miller
The Parent Wound's Purpose or Mission
This is therapy that disrupts the system. This is Core Relationships.
The Parent Wound is designed for
The Parent Wound is a transformative therapy group for adults who grew up with parents who could not fully show up, whether emotionally, physically, or both. Many people carry the imprint of those early experiences far into adulthood, even when they think they have moved past them. If you still feel the sting of those old patterns in your relationships, in the way you speak to yourself, or in how you respond to your parents today, you are not alone. This group offers a place to understand why those feelings show up and how they continue to shape the way you relate to others and to yourself.
In a supportive and thoughtfully guided space, you will learn how to break long-standing cycles and begin healing the attachment injuries that have followed you for years. Together, we work toward building the kind of internal security you may have never been given, but always deserved. The process is gentle, honest, and grounded in real connection with others who understand this experience. Join us to begin rewriting the story of how you live, love, and see yourself, starting from the inside out.
Participants who join The Parent Wound can expect
Process groups focused on relational healing offer a grounded, supportive space where you can slow down, explore your inner world, and make sense of long-standing patterns. The pace is steady and contained, with therapists offering clear guidance so you always feel oriented and supported. Nothing you share is “too much,” and every emotion is treated as meaningful and worth understanding. As group members show up consistently, the relationships in the room become a safe place to practice new ways of relating and to experience connection that feels steady and affirming. Over time, this creates a healing environment that helps you grow with more clarity, confidence, and emotional ease.
Jewish Community Experience
Bassy Schwartz, LMFT’s work within the Jewish community has been deeply meaningful and personally rewarding. Over the years, she has been involved in several areas of community life, especially around infertility, where she has helped raise awareness, develop thoughtful programming, and collaborate closely with the PUAH Cares Team on case management. She has also been active in advocating for Agunot, offering professional support and contributing to programs and awareness efforts through organizations such as ORA. Beyond these initiatives, Bassy has taken an active role in synagogue leadership by serving on boards and engaging in broader community conversations.
Bassy believes that our vibrant Jewish community holds incredible strengths, while also offering important opportunities for growth as we work through shared challenges. She finds great fulfillment in helping create spaces where honest analysis, open dialogue, and expanded services can take root. Her goal is to deepen support for individuals and families by encouraging more thoughtful, accessible, and responsive approaches. It is her hope that, through collaboration and continued reflection, our close-knit community can strengthen the resources available and foster lasting, positive change for everyone who is part of it.
