‍The rapid rise of AI is changing what it means to work in technology. If you’re feeling pressure to keep up, worried about your skills becoming obsolete, or struggling to separate your self-worth from your work, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Designed for early- to mid-career tech professionals and software engineers, this small therapy group offers space to connect, reflect, and develop practical ways to manage stress and uncertainty.

What we’ll explore

• Anxiety about AI, changing roles, and staying relevant
• Burnout and the pressure to keep pace
• Comparison, confidence, and identity beyond productivity
• Boundaries, communication, and connection
• Moving forward with greater purpose and balance

Through guided discussion and hands-on activities, the group combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Christian spiritual integration.
