Group Therapy

“Am I the only one who feels like this?”

You feel lonely. Those around you don’t seem to understand what you are going through. Being around people you perceive as functioning well at work and school intensifies your feelings of inadequacy and emotional pain.

Exploring your concerns and fears could be much richer and more meaningful if done in the company of people with similar challenges who can listen, relate, and support.

Group therapy can be very transformational when you feel that others around you genuinely understand your experience.

Often, group therapy proves very helpful after you address some of your concerns through individual therapy.

Heal with other like-minded people.

Group therapy aims to connect you with individuals with similar concerns or backgrounds who can provide validation and support. Group culture provides a format whereby the group members promote healing and growth in each other through their interactions.

In the group dynamic, you will learn how to provide effective feedback to others and accept and integrate feedback provided to you. With time, the connections made in the group will promote feelings of safety and trust.

Those connections will evolve and help you reconnect with yourself and others. You will benefit from healing and growing while also supporting those in the group.

Group therapy may be the answer for you.

After discussing group therapy with your therapist and with me, we will determine if the group is right for you. If we decide it’s the right fit, you will receive information about the group via email.

The group size is between five and eight participants. A couple more spots could become available if the group sessions occur online. You and the other group participants will have a shared experience and background, such as graduate student concerns, international students, depression, anxiety, or sexual orientation.

Group rules will address confidentiality, attendance, respect, and group participation. The expectation is that everyone actively participates in the group discussions. If you are an introvert or not used to talking much in group settings, we will help you challenge yourself to contribute to the discussions. We understand this will take courage and time.

The group process is sometimes intimidating but so powerful. I invite you to join us now.
