GROUP Teletherapy

When we have had trauma in the context of a relationship, healing must take place in the construct of a relationship.

We are not built to do it alone

We are tribal creatures.  Hundreds of thousands of

dollars have been spent on learning under what contexts

people best perform and the jury is out. TOGETHER. 

We do the best, we are the most productive, the most

successful and have the highest quality of life when we are

together. So, I decided to create a safe, accessible space

where we can meet process our challenges, change

unhealthy behaviors, strengthen self-worth, discover our

deeper emotions and improve our relationships.

  WHAT TO EXPECT:

​

​

Who will be in the group with me?
Groups are limited to 8 people and I carefully screen all

members before we begin groups to ensure everyone is

an appropriate fit. All members meet the

demographic requirements (ie. engaged couples)

eligible for your particular group topic (ie. Premarital Counseling), as well as expressed understanding of the group

rules, confidentiality, and mutual respect

for other members while in the group.

​

​

​
 

​

​

​

Do our groups stay confidential?

What happens in the group stays in the group.

What we share during our group sessions remains strictly confidential and we make an agreement at the  beginning of our sessions to maintain this promise. It is  important that we grant each other the freedom to be  honest and transparent. If confidentiality is broken, for whatever reason, that individual will be terminated from  future group sessions and the incident will be processed  among the remaining group members.

​

Participation

A core philosophy of group therapy is that we as

humans are meant to grow together. We will not work

without every member’s commitment and participation.

With that being said, respectfully participate! 

Ask questions, comment on each other’s

stories and share your own stories, vulnerably! This is your chance to practice your interpersonal skills in a safe space!

​

Interpersonal Dynamics

Groups require an atmosphere built on  mutual care and mutual respect. So, overly  critical behavior will not be tolerated. It will be  expected that all members treat each other gently and with respect. With that being said,  disagreements and conflicts may arise and this  is very healthy! This is a safe space for practicing  working through such conflicts together, so I will  encourage you to continue attending group sessions  until completion. Let’s grow stronger together!!
