WHO COMES INTO GROUP THERAPY?

In individual, couples, and family therapy we help people get out of crisis, identify how they are emotionally stuck, and reignite their development. In group, people with diverse backgrounds and a variety of emotional issues come together to take their emotional development to the next level.

 
WHAT DOES GROUP THERAPY OFFER?

The group experience offers people a way to learn how to develop their capacity to interact, connect, listen to, learn from, and give to others.  Group offers the ongoing support of a social network, where you learn to be a leader in creating the environments you need to grow and develop in your everyday life.

HOW DOES GROUP THERAPY WORK?

As the group grows, the individual grows. You come away with a deeper awareness of self and others. In group, you try out new emotional responses, experience multiple perspectives, create new ways of communicating, and deal productively with intense emotions. You develop emotional strengths and improve skills needed to build healthy relationships.

HOW IS GROUP THERAPY HELPFUL?

Group therapy is a powerful and effective approach to helping people grow. Many people’s group experiences have had a profound impact on their emotional pain, making it possible to live richer and more fulfilling lives.

SHYNESS

“I’m shy and have always avoided talking with people.”

In the group, we create a supportive context to be more open with others, to become comfortable with the discomfort of relating to others, and to become aware of the impact you may have on others. Group therapy can help you relate to others more effectively.

INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS

“My relationships always fall apart.  I always get hurt or hurt someone. I can’t go through another painful break up.”

Intimacy in relationships is often hard to create. Group is an environment where intimacy is the activity, where you learn to support others and are supported by them. In the process of building the group, you develop important skills that enable you to have closeness with others.

ANGER

“If I could just stop being mad all the time.”

People often engage in anger as a way to deal with shame, hurt, and the ramifications of painful life experiences. Group helps you learn something about your impact on others and how to share what you are feeling in a way that brings people closer to you rather than pushes them away.

Exploring the experience of being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender in a diverse, heterogeneous group will help you to grow.

RECOVERY

“I often feel judged by others for things I’ve done.”

Once you have made the life decision to eliminate destructive behavior, such as drug or alcohol abuse, group therapy supports you to learn more about your relationship to others and with yourself.  You will develop your capacity for more intimate involvement with others and personal, emotional, and spiritual growth.
