Frequently Asked

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers

Have questions about our events, workshops, or how Relate Café works? Browse these answers to get a clear sense of what to expect and how to join in.

Who can join?
The Relate Café | Community: Share. Reflect. Connect. is accomodating adults from 21+, while the paid session are designed for adults, age 27+, with lived relational experience who are ready for deeper accountability and intentional growth. You can be single or partnered, focusing on improving your relationship dynamics with any loved one in your life- including yourself.
Who will guide the space?
Yari is a licensed mental health professional who will serve as the event facilitator. To learn more about her, you can visit the “About” section or explore her website at www.morethantherapylmhc.com.
Do I have to turn my camera on for virtual sessions?
Yes. To support connection and trust, cameras remain on during Relate Café | Practice sessions.
Being visible to one another helps create a contained, respectful environment where participants can engage authentically and feel witnessed. It also allows the facilitator to track group dynamics.
What if I want to comment on someone's share?
Direct commentary on another’s process is intentionally limited. Relational growth happens through self-observation. When we comment or interpret someone else’s experience, we shift them away from their own insight. Lets keep the space focused on ownership for what arises in you.
Does this count as therapy?
Relate Café is not a therapy.
Although guided by a licensed professional, this space is educational and developmental in nature. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or crisis support. The focus is on practicing relational skills, increasing awareness, and building emotional responsibility.
What if I want therapy?
If you are seeking therapy or are in emotional crisis, individual clinical support is more appropriate. You can explore this with me individually for possible services and/or referrals. You can also consult with your preferred provider.
