Group Therapy

Discover Strength in Community

Our group therapy sessions are designed to offer a safe haven for shared experiences and mutual support. In this space, the strength of community lightens individual struggles, making you feel less alone. While we're preparing to launch, your interest and input are valuable. If you're drawn to this nurturing environment for collective healing and empowerment, let us know—your voice will help shape this journey.

Stay tuned for updates on our launch.

  • Group therapy sessions are designed to facilitate healing and personal development through shared experience. Whether you're navigating life's ups and downs, seeking support for specific issues, or looking to connect with others on a similar path, group therapy provides a space for collective insight and mutual support. I will guide our sessions and am committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and empathetic environment.

  • I understand the importance of privacy and confidentiality in the context of group therapy. Please rest assured that:

    • Personal Information: Any personal information shared in this interest form will be used solely for the purpose of organizing and communicating about the group therapy sessions. It will not be shared with any third parties without your explicit consent.

    • In-Session Privacy: I uphold the highest standards of confidentiality in therapy sessions. All participants will be asked to agree to confidentiality terms, ensuring that what is shared in the group stays within the group.

    • Voluntary Participation: Participation in both this interest form and the group therapy sessions is completely voluntary. You are in control of how much or how little you choose to share, and you can decide at any time if group therapy is right for you.

  • While sharing in a group setting can be powerful, I recognize that everyone's comfort levels differ. Group sessions are designed to respect your pace and boundaries. There is no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with, and your presence alone can be a valuable contribution to the group's collective journey.

    I’m here to answer any questions you might have and to support you in taking this step towards healing and connection. If you're ready to explore group therapy or just curious to learn more, I invite you to fill out the interest form. Your responses will help me tailor these sessions to meet the needs of the community best.
