Moral Reconation Therapy
Evidence Based, Positive Behavioral Change
What is MRT?
Moral Reconation Therapy is a 12-step cognitive-behavioral program designed to help individuals improve decision-making and take positive control of their lives. It’s especially helpful for those who’ve faced legal issues or struggled with harmful behavior patterns. MRT focuses on building personal responsibility, healthier thinking, and stronger values. The ultimate goal is to support you in creating a more fulfilling, healthy, and law-abiding life—one based on choices that reflect your goals, values, and potential for growth.
- Structured Group Sessions: Participants engage in regular meetings to work through the MRT curriculum.
- Step-by-Step Process: The program involves systematic steps aimed at fostering self-reflection and personal growth.
- Focus on Moral Reasoning: By focusing on moral reasoning, MRT helps prevent relapse, strengthens resilience, supports long-term stability, and promotes sustained recovery.

Fall 2026 Groups:
Beautifully Wired — A Support Group for Neurodivergent Women
This biweekly group offers a supportive, affirming space for neurodivergent women (including those with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence) to connect, process, and grow. Sessions blend peer support, psychoeducation, and reflective journaling to help members build self-understanding, develop practical coping strategies, and reduce the isolation that often accompanies late diagnosis, masking, or navigating a world not designed with neurodivergent minds in mind.
Members can expect a consistent, small-group setting (5-6 participants) that allows for genuine relationship-building over time.
This is an open-ended group, meaning members can join on a rolling basis and continue as long as it's helpful for them. It is designed for women who want an ongoing community rather than a fixed-length program.
Join us every other Monday at 6:00pm to connect, create, and grow together! Please email to register or with questions.
Beautifully wired group goals:
-
Reduced isolation and increased sense of community and belonging.
-
Greater self-understanding and self-acceptance related to neurodivergence.
