GROUP THERAPY

Relational Group Therapy is extremely powerful, cost effective, and can profoundly impact every aspect of your life - especially your most cherished relationships.

Each therapy group is made up of 5 to 8 individuals, both men and women, and meets weekly for an hour and a half. Partners in a marriage or other relationship meet with separate groups.

Groups may be comprised of currently married, divorced, or single adult members who have in common a desire to improve their abilities to engage in and sustain more rewarding relationships.

That you and I will will have gotten to know each other in one or more individual consultations will help me to select a group that you would be most comfortable in and would best meet your particular needs.

When appropriate, I may recommend individual therapy to help you better integrate emotional reactions to your group experience.

Below are some points to consider:

Group Therapy will help you:

• Resolve your hurt and anger while developing a capacity for greater intimacy

• Develop a healthier interactional style that will be less self-defeating

• Develop a more empathic listening-style that will enable others to feel safer and more comfortable when discussing personal issues with you

• Express your feelings in a manner that will evoke compassionate understanding and empathy rather than defensiveness in others

• Better understand how painful childhood experiences have led to repetitive relational patterns that influence your perceptions, expectations and emotional responses in current adult interactions
