Group therapy is full of smart, successful, interesting, and caring people who struggle in similar ways, and just like you, are looking to become more emotionally intelligent, 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).

Groups can include up to 10 people.

Groups meet weekly, in person.

Wednesdays 12:00pm - 1:15pm

Wednesdays 4:30pm - 5:15pm

If you can't attend either of my current groups, but you'd still like to work with me, please fill out this form and I’ll get in touch.

Group therapy is a highly effective method of making changes in your interpersonal patterns. Since you have developed these patterns for a while, you will need time to change them. I take people in my groups who are ready to commit themselves to being in group for at least a year or two. Many people get so much by being in a group they stay much longer.

Fee is $125 per person / per session. Payment is charged to a credit card on file at the beginning of the month.

You can receive statements to submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement.

Consistent attendance is how you will get the most out of group therapy. Like committing to a fitness goal (which you need to show up at the gym regularly to achieve), the same is true for your emotional and “social fitness.” Attending group therapy consistently (both showing up and being on time) is the best way to see results. Life does happen, though, so of course you can miss a group if needed.

I highly encourage people to have done at least some individual work – ideally individual therapy – before entering group therapy. Having an established sense of self and sufficient self-awareness is important to fully benefit from group therapy.

Members are encouraged to bring in emotional and relational dynamics that are happening in their lives to be worked on and addressed in the group. This can include any stressful work, romantic, familial, or friendship situation. It can also include discussing the positive aspects of life.

Members share their thoughts and feelings, about themselves and other members in reaction to what’s being discussed. Curiosity about what you are feeling, or what a fellow group member is feeling is always encouraged over an attempt to be helpful or give advice. Each member’s honest experience in the moment, expressed in the spirit of curiosity is the most effective agent of lasting change.

By expressing thoughts and feelings as they come up, members can learn what their typical reactions are and begin to understand which reactions build or get in the way of connection by hearing feedback from each other. The group leader will help members to both express and receive real and in-the moment feelings with each other and move toward open communication and connection.

Members often encourage each other to put unpleasant or more socially risky thoughts and feelings into words, since they are typically more difficult to share with others and cause us the most emotional and interpersonal challenges. This might include feeling annoyed, bored, jealous, insecure or competitive, or having judgmental/critical thoughts or reactions. This allows for an honest and open environment where all feelings are welcomed.

The group leader will be there to facilitate as group members navigate these brave, awkward or difficult conversations, and help members learn to do honest feelings in a way that builds connection.

Members are encouraged to get curious about actions other members might be engaged in, such as frequent tardiness, not attending, being more withdrawn or quiet than usual, etc. as these might reflect feelings members aren’t fully aware of or are uncomfortable expressing without your feedback.
