What is Bey & Bess?

Bey & Bess is an organization helping women overcome trauma and build confidence. We do this through group therapy sessions that incorporate both talk and dance therapies. Fatima Bey and Erica Bess guide these sessions with compassion, creating a safe space where women can connect, empower one another, and cultivate resilience through shared experiences. Together, we foster an environment of trust and sisterhood, promoting positive transformation and renewed self-confidence among our members.

Our groups are for biologically born females who are teenage girls (Blossoms), women abuse survivors (Resilient Roses), and Spanish-speaking women (Las Flores Hermosas). To learn more details about them, please click on the photos below

Why Talk and Dance Group Therapy?

Talk Therapy in a Group Setting: Group talk therapy is like having a support team. You get to share your feelings and experiences with others who might be going through similar experiences. This can make you feel less alone and more understood. Hearing others’ stories can also give you new ideas about how to handle your own challenges. Plus, it’s a safe space where you can practice talking about your feelings without judgment, which can boost your confidence.

Dance Therapy: Dance therapy is all about using movement to get over what you have been under and build your confidence. It’s not about being a great dancer; it’s about letting your body communicate what you’re feeling inside and what you want to feel. Dancing can help you release stress and emotions that are hard to put into words. It’s a fun way to connect with your body and feel more alive. Plus, when you dance with others, it creates a sense of community and togetherness, which can be really healing.

Talk therapy brings the emotional energy to the surface. Dancce therapy lets you do something powerful with that energy. Both therapies can help you feel more connected to yourself and others, making it easier to tackle life’s ups and downs.
