Group Therapy
Relationships in group help you learn how to be your best with the people you love.
Group therapy works.
Not only has research shown that group therapy is just as effective as individual therapy, but it is often easier to access and more affordable.
There is no part of our mental health that is not impacted by our relationships.
If we’re having a hard time in life, then that impacts how we show up in our relationships. And because we’re all social animals, if our relationships “go bad,” then we’re likely to feel bad. Group therapy can help keep your mind “healthy” when relationships get “ill”. It can help you show up in ways you’re proud of.
“Love is not only an intuition but also a skill.”
— Andrew Solomon
How does group therapy work?
Group is like a scrimmage for real life.
Groups give people a chance to do two important things: first, you’ll have a chance to talk about what you’re going through with peers who have had similar experiences. That alone is helpful, and it also builds trust with other members. Eventually, though, the relationships you build in therapy will run into the same kind of challenges as everyday life. That’s a blessing in disguise! Everyone is in group to learn about what makes relationships work. When these things happen, you’ll have a chance to ask, “Was there something that I did— or maybe didn’t do— that contributed to that moment?” And if so, what would it be like to do something different? Group gives us the opportunity to practice learning and growing in relationships— without having to have the whole world watch.
Current Group:
Tuesdays, 6:00 - 7:20 PM
An Interpersonal process group for adults (mid 20s to mid 60s) who feel like "success" is not everything that they hoped for. Despite having settled into adulthood and found some measure of stability with work and commitments, members feel dissatisfied, depressed and/or anxious. They hope to develop and/or deepen meaningful relationships. Many members may have difficulty expressing their feelings and may frequently struggle with putting others' needs before their own.
