Within my private practice, I offer and facilitate
groups on step parenting and integrating blended families, managing
anxiety, and
managing life stress. I also do group therapy for women only on
coping with issues related to peri-menopause and menopause. Another group that I'm forming will be for those interested in writing your life story through journaling.
If you are
interested in any of these group therapy sessions, please complete the brief form below.
In
group psychotherapy I treat a small group of clients together. The
group therapy process can be a wonderful mechanism for support and
growth by helping members develop skills needed to make changes in
their lives. Most of these groups are psychoeducational in nature,
however, the group process may enable members to feel a sense of:
Universality.
Recognition of shared experiences and feelings among group members
helps remove your sense of isolation, validates your experiences and
raises your self esteem.
Altruism.
Because the group is a place where members help each other, the
experience of being able to give something to another can lift your
self esteem and help you develop more adaptive coping styles and
interpersonal skills.
Hope.
In a mixed group where members are at various stages of development or
recovery, a member can be inspired and encouraged by another who has
overcome the similar problems.
Support:
The group setting provides a safe and supportive environment for
members to take risks by extending their repertoire of interpersonal
behavior and improving their social skills
Catharsis. When members tell their story to a supportive audience, they can obtain relief from shame and guilt.
Self-understanding.
Group members often achieve greater insight into the origins of their
problems and some of the motivations that underlie their behaviors.
