Group Therapy
Group therapy can be a powerful therapeutic modality that offers unique benefits not always available in individual therapy. It is cost effective, offers opportunities for social connection and validation, as well it's backed by science for skill building and effective treatment. However, it's important to note that group therapy may not be suitable for everyone, and individual preferences and needs should be taken into account when considering treatment options.

They can also be especially useful for people who engage in destructive or impulsive behaviors, such as substance abuse, self-harm, reckless spending, etc. The group is didactic in nature and will focus on learning and applying the skills reviewed. Homework is assigned each week to facilitate mastery of the skills. Participants must be in conjunctive individual therapy to be eligible for this group. Prospective participants will undergo a brief screening to gauge their interest and appropriateness for the group. Group runs weekly for 6 months.
