Group Therapy
Group therapy can help you become the partner, parent, friend, professional you want to be.
Group is a great option for you if….
You find relationships stressful at times, but you don’t understand why or how to make them better.
You become reactive or lash out in relationships.
You withdraw or pull away from people when things get difficult.
You feel the need to be in control in your relationships.
You are a people-pleaser, or it’s hard for you to speak up and assert yourself in your relationships.
You struggle to be curious and listen when you don’t agree with what is being said.
You’re lonely, and you want to change that
“Often times our interpersonal patterns are like a metal rod — unyielding. The only way to bend it is to heat it up. Group therapy brings that heat.”
- Dr. Laura Kasper
What is Group Therapy?
Group therapy is a weekly confidential gathering of 6-8 people who are here working on the same thing…becoming more self-aware, and capable of having (and enjoying) deeply satisfying and effective relationships.
Imagine a place where your true feelings (anger, joy, boredom, relief, annoyance) are welcome. A place where your honest reaction, thought or feeling is valued.
Group therapy is a place to learn how you are experienced by others, and vice versa. To learn what works and what doesn’t when you are trying to connect.
It is true freedom to get to a point where you know what you are feeling in the moment, and are able to communicate it in a way that can be received by others, no matter what it is.
Group can serve as a weekly practice session for the relationships you want to have. It is much like having a consistent opportunity to get the do-over that is less available in daily living.

In group therapy, members are encouraged to discuss emotional and relational challenges, whether personal or work-related, as well as positive aspects of their lives, this allows the group to become familiar with each other, and learn to address these dynamics together.
Members share their thoughts and feelings as they have them in response to group discussions, focusing on curiosity and honest expression rather than advice-giving, fostering a space for genuine connection and growth.
By openly expressing their reactions, members gain insight into their typical responses and learn how these reactions either support or hinder connection, with the group leader guiding this process.
The group encourages expressing difficult or socially risky emotions, like jealousy or insecurity, to create a more open and honest environment where all feelings are welcomed.
The group leader helps the group navigate challenging conversations, teaching members how to express honest feelings in ways that build connection and trust among the group.

Group therapy is made up of adults, professionals, parents, that just like you, are looking to become more, self-aware and have better relationships.
Groups are inclusive. People of any gender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, professional and financial background, relationship status and type, and age (usually from mid 20s to mid 50s).
You will meet with me a few times individually before you join a group. This allows me to get to know you and assess which group will best serve your individual needs.
