For Men Navigating the Dating World
When dating feels unfair, confusing or stacked against you, it can start to shape how you see yourself and others.
This group focuses on building self-respect, emotional awareness and relationship skills that support real connection, rather than frustration or withdrawal.

Dr. Juan Gavidia: PsyD, LMFT, Cicada Therapy Founder
From grief to past trauma to the breakdown of relationships, my goal is to offer support to process your experiences and overcome difficult moments.
I do this by advocating for the importance of community and creating new rituals for modern-day living. This humanist and existential approach was developed to combine the physical, emotional, and spiritual ways in which we experience the world and heal.
