Group Therapy
Group therapy is a powerful way to explore how we feel about ourselves and the people we relate to. We can start to see patterns in our relating, make sense of our reactions, and try out new ways of connecting.
Benefits of Group
I offer group process because I’ve found it uniquely helpful for those who want to:
build stronger, more fulfilling relationships
be more accepting of themselves
find their voice
feel less alone
experience more depth and meaning in their lives
become more open to difference
be able to sit with hard feelings
This type of group may be a good fit for you if you experience
social anxiety or discomfort
difficulty asking for what you need or setting boundaries
difficulty expressing or regulating your anger
people-pleasing of self-silencing
feeling insecure or anxious in intimate relationships
challenges establishing or sustaining emotional connection
shame or persistent self-criticism
discomfort with emotional vulnerability
confusion about who you are
inhibition around expressing your authentic self
relational dynamics that lead to conflict, isolation, or dissatisfaction
What happens in group?
What makes group process effective is that you don’t just talk about your relationships, you get to experience them in the moment with other group members.
As the group deepens, members often find themselves more emotionally alive, more able to name and express their feelings, and more able to experience closeness and difference. Over time, what people learn and feel in group starts to ripple outward into their friendships, partnerships, families, and work relationships.

What’s group really like?
Group, a scripted-but-improvised series created by renowned Modern Analytic group therapist Dr. Elliot Zeisel, offers a chance to see what group is like. In the show, Dr. Zeisel plays the group leader, and the members—though actors—bring personal elements into their improvised roles. The interactions in the show give a sense of the emotional depth, relational complexity, and moments of growth that can happen in a real therapy group over time. Below is a preview of the first season of the show:
