GROUP THERAPY

 

Relational Group Therapy is extremely powerful, cost effective and can profoundly enhance your most important relationships.

Each counseling group is made up of 5 to 8 individuals, both men and women, and meets weekly for an hour and a half.

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.

You and I will meet first in an individual consultation, so that I can better match you with other individuals that would help make your group experience deeper, more productive and enjoyable.

In addition to group therapy, I may recommend individual or couple therapy or psychoanalysis to complement and help you better integrate your group experience.

 

Relational-Psychodynamic 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 experi-ences have led to repetitive relational patterns that influence your perceptions, expectations and emotional responses in current adult interactions
