About us

Hello butterflies πŸ¦‹

You don’t need permission to take up space here.

Sovereign Circle is a free, biweekly virtual community space centered on queer people of color, immigrants, and women who are looking for connection, reflection, and emotional support in community. While this space centers those identities and lived experiences, anyone who respects and supports that intention is welcome here.

I’m Maya Nelson, a licensed therapist and founder of Silent Syche Therapy. I created Sovereign Circle because healing doesn’t only happen in individual therapy β€” it also happens when we feel seen, understood, and able to practice being ourselves with others in real time.

While I am a licensed therapist, this group is not therapy. This is a free support space focused on coping, grounding, community care, and honest conversation. Deep clinical processing isn’t the goal here β€” connection and emotional support are.

We meet every other Tuesday from 6:00–7:15 PM.

Each session may include:

🧘🏽 Grounding or mindfulness practice
πŸ““ Journaling or reflection prompts
πŸ’¬ Open discussion about real-life experiences
🌱 Gentle accountability to support growth between meetings

We talk about things like:

Identity and belonging, anxiety, relationships, migration experiences, family dynamics, workplace stress, loneliness, dating, burnout, communication challenges, and learning how to stay present when emotions feel big.

All you have to do is become a member β€” the Zoom link drops the day of the meeting.
You can learn more about me and my practice at silentsychetherapy.com to make sure this space feels like a good fit.

Bring your full self. Bring your curious self. Bring the version of you that’s still healing.
There’s space for you in the circle. 🌿
