Introducing the Men’s Midlife Mix: A New Group Therapy Experience

Midlife is a significant period of reflection and transition, often bringing unique challenges alongside opportunities for growth. Navigating changing relationships, redefining identity, or managing new stresses can feel isolating.

Wellington Counseling Group is pleased to announce the launch of the Men’s Midlife Mix, an in-person, weekly group therapy experience designed specifically for men over 40. Held at our River North office, this group provides a safe, supportive environment to explore life’s complexities with peers who understand.

The Men’s Midlife Mix will focus on themes central to this stage of life, including:

• Emotional Intelligence & Communication Skills
• Relationship Issues & Family Dynamics
• Anger & Stress Management
• Masculinity & Identity
• Life Transitions (retirement, empty nest, physical changes)
• Grief and Loss
• Fatherhood & Parenting
• Work/Life Balance & Career Reflection
• Healthy Habits & Self-Care

The group is thoughtfully facilitated to ensure a respectful, confidential, and supportive space. Discussions are guided yet flexible, adapting to members’ needs. Key principles include strict confidentiality, respectful communication, a focus on exploring feelings, and the value of consistent attendance for building trust and facilitating deeper work. Each session will blend open dialogue with practical skill-building and psychoeducation on managing emotions, improving relationships, and promoting well-being.

Our licensed facilitators are experienced professionals dedicated to fostering a safe environment, offering practical insights, helping navigate interpersonal dynamics, and supporting each member’s growth journey with empathy and understanding.

Joining the Men’s Midlife Mix is an investment in yourself. It’s an opportunity to build emotional intelligence, strengthen relationships, develop healthier coping strategies, navigate transitions with confidence, and connect with men facing similar experiences. You don’t have to navigate midlife alone; with the right support, this time can be one of significant growth and renewal.
