Group Therapy for Women Without Children
A Therapeutic Community for Women Navigating Life Without Motherhood
For many women without children, the hardest part isn’t just the circumstances — it’s the isolation.
Friendships shift. Conversations revolve around parenting. Social spaces begin to feel unfamiliar. You may find yourself carrying grief, relief, freedom, regret, or questions about identity, often without a place where those experiences are fully understood.
This group therapy experience is designed specifically for women without children whether by choice, circumstance, infertility, loss, or life timing who want connection, healing, and a space where nothing about their life needs explaining.
“Alyssa is an incredible therapist who has helped me overcome my unwanted behaviors and become a better person. Her compassionate and understanding approach made me feel comfortable and supported throughout my journey. I highly recommend Alyssa to anyone looking to make positive changes in their life.”

Confidentiality:
Group therapy sessions are completely confidential, providing you with a safe and private space to discuss your thoughts and feelings. Your therapist will adhere to strict ethical guidelines to ensure that your privacy is protected.
Length of treatment:
The length of treatment will depend on your specific needs and goals. Some people may benefit from a few sessions, while others may need longer-term treatment. Your therapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.
Getting started:
If you are interested in starting group therapy with Silver Linings Counseling, the first step is to schedule an initial consultation with one of our therapists. This will allow you to discuss your concerns and goals, and to determine if our services are a good fit for you. We encourage you to take this important step towards improving your mental health and well-being.
Scheduling and availability:
Our team of therapists has a range of availability, including daytime, evening, and weekend appointments. We understand that life can be busy, and we will do our best to accommodate your schedule.

Teletherapy:
In addition to in-person sessions, we also offer teletherapy options for group therapy. Teletherapy allows you to participate in therapy sessions remotely, using video conferencing technology. This can be a convenient option for those who are unable to physically come to our office due to distance, mobility issues, or COVID-19 related restrictions. Our teletherapy services are fully confidential and adhere to the same ethical standards as in-person sessions.
About Alyssa
Alyssa Koch, Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
I’m Alyssa Koch, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker in private practice. My work centers on women who are childless not by choice and women who are childfree by choice, two experiences that are different, but often misunderstood in similar ways.
I created this focus intentionally. Women without children frequently fall through the cracks in traditional therapy spaces. Grief can be minimized. Freedom can be pathologized. Regret can feel shameful. Confidence can be judged. In our work together, nothing about your reproductive status is assumed, romanticized, or dismissed.
I bring a blend of clinical training, research-informed practice, and deep respect for the complexity of women’s lives. Therapy with me is thoughtful, grounded, and honest with room for both humor and hard conversations.
Childless Not by Choice Therapy
Supporting Women Who Navigate Life Without Children
Living without children when it wasn’t your plan can bring unique challenges: grief for imagined futures, identity shifts, social isolation, and questions about purpose and meaning. Individual therapy provides a safe, personalized space to explore these experiences with compassion and clinical expertise.
In our sessions, we focus on:
• Naming and honoring the losses you’ve experienced
• Processing grief that may feel invisible or misunderstood
• Reducing self-blame and building self-compassion
• Rebuilding identity, purpose, and meaning beyond motherhood
• Navigating relationship dynamics and social challenges
• Exploring legacy, connection, and life goals in ways that feel authentic to you
Your experience is valid. Healing is possible at your own pace. Together, we work to create a life that feels grounded, meaningful, and aligned with your values.
