GROUPS

A new therapy group for men and women will be forming in the Fall that will specifically focus on interpersonal and social skill growth and development. Call me for further information and to get on a waiting list.

WOMEN'S THERAPY GROUP

I currently facilitate a women's therapy group that meets weekly to deal with the effects on daily life of childhood trauma, specifically from some form of childhood sexual abuse. The focus of the group is to learn to express feelings and thoughts in the safety of a group setting with other women who have experienced similar events in their lives. We work on concerns of the women as they surface within the group, and try to keep the focus on the present experience each woman is having in the here-and-now. It is helpful for each woman to be in individual therapy while attending this group, as the group can bring up difficult material that you may want to process in individual sessions.

RECOVERY SUPPORT GROUP

This group is especially for the person recovering from a chemical dependency addiction who has enough time in sobriety to be focusing on issues other than using. The group works on relationships, work stressors, finances, self-worth issues, and all the other areas that affect a recovering individual once the alcohol or drug has been removed and is no longer a problem. Ordinarily, group members attend a 12-step recovery program as well as this group. This group meets every other week for 1 1/2 hours.

Both of these groups are closed groups, which means that once they are filled no one else is allowed into the group. If a group is full, your name can be put on a waiting list for an existing group or for the formation of a new group. Call or e-mail for information on the current status of these groups.
