Support / Community / Wellness / Understanding / Growth

Group therapy provides the opportunity to explore patterns of relating to others and experiment with new ways of interacting. Many people learn new skills and perspectives through hearing the rich and experiential stories of others. Group members have novel insights or may be able to relate to you in ways that promote growth and understanding that you had not considered alone, or in individual therapy. Group sessions also provide feedback and support from peers in a safe, therapeutic space. Here, group therapy services are offered for specific topics as well as general wellness and support. Please inquire about what groups are being offered at this time or joining a waitlist for the group that best suits your goals...

D&D Group:  Anxiety and Depression Focus 

Closed Group

Have you ever noticed that D&D games can mend friendships and relationships? 

So has M. A. Connell in her breakthrough book:  Tabletop Role-Playing Therapy.  Due to the prevalence of anxiety and depression, and how they more often co-occur together, I will be hosting a D&D game on Roll20 that addresses the facets and symptoms of these concerns. In regard to anxiety, this can span from making mistakes and observing what happens as a result, to social encounters and do-overs. In regard to depression, we can focus on working through symptoms related to decision making and not feeling like others want you around.

Hoping to begin this group in July 2024. Please reach out if you would like to join!  Limited to 6 PCs.

Couples with Couples Group

Monogomous and Polyamorous/CNM Couples Group modalities. Couples group therapy is a specialized form of therapy that brings together multiple couples in a group setting to address relationship issues and promote growth and healing. It provides a supportive and safe environment where couples can share their experiences, gain insights, and learn valuable skills to enhance their relationship.

In couples group therapy, couples work collaboratively with a trained therapist and other couples facing similar challenges. The group dynamic allows for a unique exchange of perspectives, support, and feedback. It creates a sense of community and solidarity, as couples realize they are not alone in their struggles.

The purpose of couples group therapy is to improve communication, foster empathy, and develop healthier patterns of interaction within relationships. It offers a platform for couples to explore underlying issues, gain self-awareness, and acquire practical tools to resolve conflicts effectively.

By participating in couples group therapy, couples can expect to strengthen their emotional bond, deepen their understanding of each other, and develop strategies to overcome obstacles that may be hindering their relationship’s growth.
