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:
