The purpose of group therapy is to help individuals better understand themselves in the context of their relationships. This environment helps all of us make more informed, healthy, and adaptive choices based on a deeper awareness of their feelings, interpersonal behaviors, and reactions within the group setting. Unlike individual psychotherapy that focuses on helping clients improve through interventions from a therapist, group therapy allows participants to observe others in the group, receive valuable feedback, and benefit from social interactions. For these reasons, group therapy is often the most effective “therapy of choice” depending on your current needs.
We are currently taking registrations for the following group therapy options:
Men’s Group
Who is this group for?
This group is for men aged 30 and older.
It will be a place to talk about the unique challenges that men face, including anger, parenting, intimate relationships, developing friendships, work/life balance, and health issues. Because of our culture and upbringing, boys and men often struggle with many of life’s issues in unique ways.
What will I get out of this group?
A confidential and respectful place to discuss your current life functioning and how you would like to do things differently. Having a community of men with similar issues facilitates growth and development.
Topics might include the unique needs of men and how men balance multiple demands: be strong and available, vulnerable and steady, present and not overbearing. Other ways to talk about contradictory expectations that men can’t actually meet but may feel inferior or a failure because of these expectations.
