Our focus is not on changing who you are\, or to help you fit into the neurotypical expectation of what a relationship “should” look like. Rather\, we aim to assist you in fostering a deeper understanding of your differences so you can move forward together as your authentic selves. \nWhat Happens in the Group?  \nEach week\, we’ll gather for 2 hours in a small\, supportive circle of other partners who also experience the challenges of ADHD and Autism. Together\, we’ll explore things like:  \n\nDo we really understand each other? \n\n\nWhy are we always fighting about shared responsibilities? \n\n\nAre we truly connected on an emotional level? \n\n\nWhat would it look like to take a small step toward understanding and accommodating our unique attributes?\n\nEach session includes:  \n\nCheck-ins\n\n\nSkill building  \nEducation for deeper understanding of ADHD and Autism\nActivities and conversations that enhance understanding and collaboration\n\n\nReflections and takeaways you can carry into your week \n\nYou don’t need to “have it all figured out” to join. You just need to be willing to show up and get curious about your relationship.  \nThis Group Might Be for You  \nIf you…  \n\nFeel like missed social cues and semantics are fueling conflict \n\n\nStruggle with imbalanced distribution of labor at home\n\n\nWant to feel more understood\, connected\, and supported in your relationship\n\n\nCrave a space where you can learn valuable relational skills among your peers without judgment\n\nWhat You’ll Walk Away With  \nBy the end of 6 weeks\, you’ll have:  \n\nGreater awareness of how ADHD or Autism impact your relationship\n\n\nKnowledge of when and how to accommodate when needed\n\n\nPractice regulating emotions and engaging in healthy communication\n\n\nA group of peers who get it \n\nYou won’t leave with a “fix”—because you’re not broken. But you will leave with clarity\, connection\, and some next steps that feel true to you.  \nDetails  \n\nWho: Partners age 18 and up with one or more individuals with ADHD or Autism (suspected but not diagnosed folks are welcome to join)\nWhen: Every Saturday from 3-5pm between March 14th and April 18th\nWhere: Kalamazoo Therapy Group\, 1901 Parkview Avenue\nCost: \nFacilitated by: Carly Jacobs\, PC & MFT Intern and Emmett Lincoln\, MFT Intern\nSeats available: 4 Partners (therefore registration is required for this event)\n\nReady to Join Us?

This experience goes beyond theory. It’s about learning how to live your values together\, especially when things get hard. \nBecause this virtual workshop is limited to just 5 couples\, the experience is deeply personal. The small-group setting allows space for thoughtful processing\, real questions\, honest conversations\, and individualized support. \nTogether\, you will:\n\nDeepen your relationship intelligence and communication skills so you’re better equipped to navigate conflict\, change\, and stress in the years ahead\n\nLearn how to show up as your best\, most grounded self within your marriage\n\nPractice engaging with integrity\, accountability\, and emotional wholeness\n\nShatter harmful myths about marriage and replace them with realistic\, supportive expectations that can sustain you for decades\n\nBuild meaningful community and long-term connections with other couples who share similar values\, intentions\, and insight\n\nCelebrate your growth and new perspective through a virtual vow celebration\, surrounded by your new community of marriage supporters\n\n\nThis education event is a conscious pause before (or just after) marriage to ask: How do we want to build a life together\, and who do we need to become to do that? \nIf you’re ready to invest in the relationship that comes after the wedding day\, this virtual workshop is for you. \nWhat is the Vow Ceremony?\nAs this virtual workshop wraps up\, you and your partner will share a deeper understanding of each other\, as well as your future together. This connection deserves to be celebrated! A vow ceremony\, held with sacredness and reverence in this virtual space amongst your peers\, will be an opportunity to bear witness to the other participants of what you have developed with your partner over the previous hours of learning and discovery.  \nThe vows you make on your wedding day will be a treasure you and your partner will cherish forever. The vow ceremony in this virtual workshop will take on a particularly deep meaning when shared amongst the other participants\, who have taken the steps to learn and grow together with their partners alongside you and yours. This ceremony is one chance (of many to come) to demonstrate a unity with your partner that will stand the test of time. And you may even be surprised to discover a desire to use these uniquely authentic and intimate vows at your actual wedding – for your community to witness as well! \nThe vow ceremony will be held between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM on the final day of the virtual workshop (Saturday\, April 25). \nWhat is the cost\, and why? \n\nEarly bird enrollment (now through March 1st) is $795 per couple\nEnrollment between March 2nd and March 8th will be $895 per couple\n\nPrivate couples therapy with Kelsey costs $250 per 75 minute session\, and many couples wait months for availability. This 18 hour virtual workshop provides the equivalent of multiple months of high-quality therapeutic education and guided support in a structured and accessible format.  \nMore importantly\, the cost reflects the belief that preparing for marriage is one of the most impactful investments a couple can make. The skills you build here support communication\, emotional safety\, intimacy\, and resilience through future transitions\, challenges\, and seasons of change. \nUnderstandably\, $795-$895 may seem like a grand investment\, and it is. To shift the perspective\, the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. is around $30\,000. This number reflects just the event itself: ceremony\, reception\, food\, venue\, photography\, etc. and doesn’t account for the many years ahead when a couple will be navigating life’s stresses\, transitions\, and growth together.  \nWhile you may choose to add the cost of this virtual workshop to your wedding budget\, this is not an expense for your wedding day.\nIt is an investment in the life you are building together. \nAbout the facilitator\nKelsey Nimmo is a Marriage and Family Therapist\, Certified Sex Therapist\, and Relationship Coach. She has spent over ten years supporting couples in fostering more emotional and physical intimacy in their relationships through a unique approach in prioritizing the wholeness of each individual within the partnership. \nKelsey believes that to create and maintain the depth of connection and fulfillment we each desire with another human we care deeply for\, we must find a way to learn and integrate our own personal development. Through individual growth\, health\, and wholeness\, we can only then show up in our fullness with compassion\, love\, generosity\, and acceptance. \nWhile we often think of relationships as having the goal of “connection\,” Kelsey supports couples in learning to navigate and find resilience for the naturally occurring coming together and falling apart that every relationship will endure throughout its lifetime. Guiding couples to learn to hold and honor these times of transition (and times of disconnect) while not losing sight of individual needs and well-being (and not holding onto them too rigidly)\, she seeks to help couples step into a new sense of love and depth in their relationships that they may have never experienced before. \nKelsey offers individual counseling as well as relationship coaching\, and facilitates groups and events related to grief\, meditation\, and relationship intelligence. \nTo register…\nRegistration for this event is no longer open.

While the practice of marriage itself is often (but not always) religiously tied\, this workshop will be rooted in evidence-based therapeutic education\, and Kelsey welcomes you to align your personal practice with or without religion as you see fit.
