Who this group is for

As in life, this group represents the diversity that makes us who we are. Biological, psychological, social, cultural, sexual or gender identities, struggles and triumphs are welcome here. Members share an interest in understanding themselves and others, putting all thoughts and feelings into words in order to work through difficult dynamics and other road blocks to connection.

What to expect

Psychoanalytic group therapy is a process, a laboratory for life in which members will develop long lasting bonds and work through relationships that stir up old feelings. This process rewires the brain via repeated interactions and connections. Over time these new neuronal pathways supersede the old and dysfunctional. One can expect movement forward, and back, forward and back. Sometimes development is incremental, other times it's mind blowing and fast! If you are looking for long lasting change in the way you think and feel about yourself and others, and toleration for that which you can't control and interpersonal connections that benefit from this work, then this might be the group for you.

If you’d like to explore whether this group is the right fit for you, I offer a few complimentary consultations to ensure this space aligns with your needs and goals. If we decide to move forward together, we ask for a minimum commitment of a few months—which we’ll discuss in consultation— to give you the opportunity to fully experience the benefits of group therapy while fostering a supportive and consistent space for all members. We’re here to grow together and make sure you feel supported in taking a step forward into this space.

Your membership payment for sessions will occur at the end of each month.
