Book Club
Learn the relationship skills no one taught you.
Whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or simply want healthier relationships in your life, our Relationship Book Club offers a unique opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with others who are asking the same questions you are.
Unlike a traditional book club, each discussion is facilitated by a licensed therapist who helps bring the concepts to life through real-world examples, expert insights, and practical applications. Think of it as part book club, part relationship workshop, and part “ask the expert” experience.
Each series explores a carefully selected book on topics such as dating, communication, attachment, emotional intelligence, conflict, intimacy, boundaries, and building lasting relationships. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationship patterns, and the skills that contribute to healthy connections.
This is not group therapy. You won’t be expected to share personal details or discuss private relationship challenges. Instead, you’ll learn alongside other thoughtful professionals in a relaxed, engaging environment designed for curiosity, conversation, and personal growth.
This Book Club Is Ideal For:
- Professionals who want to show up in their relationships more intentionally
- Individuals preparing for a future relationship or marriage
- People in relationships who want to improve communication and connection skills
- Anyone curious about relationship psychology and human behavior
- Those who enjoy learning in a community setting
What Makes It Different?
- Therapist-led discussions and expert guidance
- Practical relationship tools you can apply immediately
- Opportunities to ask questions and deepen your understanding
- A welcoming, co-ed environment
- A focus on education and personal growth—not therapy
Relationships influence nearly every area of our lives. Investing in your relational skills may be one of the most valuable investments you make.
Join us as we read, learn, discuss, and grow—one book at a time.

Permission to Feel
By Marc Brackett, Ph.D
How well do you understand your emotions—and how much do they shape your relationships, decisions, and overall well-being?
In Permission to Feel, Yale emotion scientist Marc Brackett shares a powerful, research-backed approach to recognizing, understanding, expressing, and regulating emotions. Through compelling stories and practical strategies, you’ll discover how emotional awareness can reduce stress, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and help you respond more intentionally to life’s challenges.
Whether you’re looking to better understand yourself, improve your relationships, or simply invest in your own well-being, this book offers skills you’ll use long after the final chapter.
