An online group for adults exploring, questioning, or (re)discovering an LGBTQIA+ relationship identity later in life (ages 28+)

Ages 28+ · WA State residents
Facilitated by: Sitara Marin, MA, LMHC & Bridgett Winters, MA, LMHCA

This group is for you if you’ve ever thought:

  • “I want to date, come out, or find my people — but how do I do that now?”

  • “I’ve spent years fitting into what I thought relationships should look like. I’m tired of pretending.”

  • “I feel too old, too late, or not queer enough to belong.”

You might FEEL behind, not queer enough, or like an imposter — but here’s the truth: you’re not late, you’re right on time for you.

You’re in a “second round” of becoming: circling back to truths, desires, and attractions that didn’t get space earlier on.

What to Expect

✨ A supportive, exploratory space where you can show up as you are — no judgment, no rush.
✨ Guided conversations to share your story, voice insecurities, and develop language for your truth.
✨ Skills for boundaries, self-acceptance, dating, and navigating family/relationship shifts.
✨ Space to unpack shame, grief, or regret around “lost time.”
✨ Connection with others who get it — peers who are navigating the same mix of excitement and fear.

Why a group?


Because saying it out loud in a room of people who truly get it changes everything. Together, we’ll practice being seen, supported, and reminded that belonging is real and possible.
