Group therapy is covered through most health insurance plans. This group is offered to adults 25+. Participation in this group requires a screening assessment per the American Group Psychotherapy Association practice guidelines. Contact me for details.

Do you struggle trusting others or, when you do, are you frequently let down? Are you often focusing on others' needs rather than your own? Feel as if your childhood wasn't "that bad" even though you're still reminded of pain from when you were a kid? Growing up in a family with addiction, violence, abuse, and emotional neglect where we do not feel safe, secure, and loved, we adapt to our environment as best as we can. What happens inside of us when the people we love do not love us back? What do we do with that pain? When our primary attachment relationships do not support a supportive and nourishing emotional connection, we can see the impact that follows us well into our adult lives.

So what do we do? It can be tricky to figure all of this out because relational trauma frequently happens very subtly, over a long period of time. Recovery means understanding past experiences while developing the skills to live in the present. Learn how to develop emotional security and reconnect with shut-down parts of yourself. Discovering, accepting, and loving, who you are, after all this time, could open up a whole new world for you. You deserve the chance to find out.

This psychoeducational group utilizes theater games, improvisation, and sociometric techniques to provide participants the experience to embody these feelings through role play and group exercises that bond participants. Specifically, this group may be helpful for those who’ve experienced peer bullying, patterns of unhealthy romantic relationships, professional setbacks (“not a team player”), or family conflict that results in low contact or estrangement. Together, we can explore how your early coping strategies continue to shape your current relationships and how new experiences can open space for authenticity and connection.

Group meets on Sundays from 11am-12pm in the Rooted Therapeutic Healing offices.
