Group Therapy

group therapy

I have a passion for working with people who want to develop a stronger sense of identity in the context of their relationships. To that end, I am passionate about running therapy groups and encourage most of my clients to consider joining one during our work together.

Here are some of the common questions I get about group therapy, including what makes it an effective addition to individual therapy.

  • Process group therapy offers a unique and powerful way to explore interpersonal dynamics and develop deeper self-awareness. Unlike individual therapy, group therapy provides a social microcosm where members can observe and reflect on their behaviors, emotions, judgements, and reactions in real-time. This setting enables members to gain valuable insights into their relational patterns and emotional responses, which often mirror those in their outside lives, including familial, romantic, and other close relationships.

    Group therapy fosters a supportive environment where members can share their personal experiences, receive feedback, take risks, and learn from one another. It is particularly effective for those looking to improve their approach to relationships, enhance their communication skills, and build lifelong skills for achieving greater trust and intimacy. By engaging in this collective therapeutic process, members not only address their individual challenges but also contribute to the growth and healing of the group as a whole. This collaborative journey encourages members to be vulnerable, take risks, develop lifelong attachments, and ultimately create lasting, positive changes in their lives.

  • I run interpersonal process groups for adults, which meet weekly for 75 minutes. These groups focus on enhancing self-awareness and improving interpersonal relationships.

    By participating in a group setting, members have the opportunity to explore their relational patterns, receive feedback, and practice new ways of interacting with others in a safe and supportive environment.

  • Yes, I am a Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP). A CGP is a clinical mental health professional who meets internationally accepted criteria for education, training, and experience in group psychotherapy.

    To receive this designation, therapists must receive specialized training in group therapy and have extensive, supervised group psychotherapy experience.

  • I currently co-lead several mixed-gender, interpersonal process groups (75 minutes each) for adults.
