Boundaries Clinic


  • Inner Light Counseling Collective 191 East Chestnut Street Asheville, NC, 28801 United States (map)

“Boundaries are the distance at which I can love both you and me simultaneously.”

-Prentis Hemphill

For four Saturday mornings in January, we will roll up our sleeves and dig into the nitty-gritty of understanding, setting, and maintaining personal boundaries. This will be a very small, intimate group so that we can build the trust necessary for experiential practice and targeted role play.


You will gain familiarity and skill with real-time boundary setting using exactly the situations that confound you in your life and relationships. We’ll likely laugh, probably cry, definitely drink our weight in tea and coffee, and emerge with clear, direct tools for taking care of ourselves and others at the exact same time—and a specific plan for applying these tools to your real-life interpersonal conflicts.


This four-part clinic will take place on Saturday mornings from 10 to 11:30 am in Lissa’s sunny Montford office.

Tea, coffee, and light snacks will be provided.


This clinic might be for you if:

  • you feel a slow burn of resentment toward one or more people that you can’t seem to shake

  • you have sincerely considered moving out of the state to escape an interpersonal situation

  • you feel unconsidered, invisible, or misunderstood in one or more of your significant relationships

  • you find it difficult to do exactly what you want unless you are completely alone

  • you have tried to set boundaries and have given up because everyone ignores them anyway

  • you don’t know how to feel okay if anyone near you is upset, sad, or angry at you

Very limited enrollment; this will be an intimate group.
