Process Groups
In process group therapy, we will explore group dynamics that create cohesion and discord, and within the discord how to find connection within the here-and-now experience. This group modality draws from modern analytic and relational theory, neuroscience, group process research, and multicultural perspectives.
In the group process, all members are encouraged to share their perspectives, experiences, and locations to be identified, explored, and understood. We will work to create a safe process environment that is inclusive of each group member's unconscious assumptions and relational patterns. Group members should feel empowered to discuss and own their thoughts and feelings as they come up in group.
Group can be a wonderful experience where people heal from pain, struggles, or patterns of past relationships by experiencing new relationships. When people are able to share their feelings and thoughts with the group, it allows them to develop a deeper understanding of intimacy. Group leaders strive to be open and non-defensive about their own unconscious processes and welcome discussion and feedback about how they relate with group members.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Groups
DBT is an evidenced based treatment with successful outcomes for people seeking relief from emotional pain, helping to improve communication, reduce impulsivity, and provide meaning and clarity to issues that seem ongoing; it can help people become “unstuck” in their relationships, trauma, and depression and reduce self-harming behavior and suicidal ideation.
DBT is a 12-week, comprehensive group class that focuses on problem solving and acceptance based strategies. Skills are taught in Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation, and Distress Tolerance.
