As a parent myself, I know the fears, anguish, and confusion you can have dealing with your child's or adolescent's struggles. If you are in a less than satisfying relationship, I can help you understand and effectively communicate your needs in a way your partner can respond to you. If you have an addictive problem, I can help you motivate yourself to overcome it. I provide a safe, comfortable, nonjudgmental place to heard. We will use intense problem solving methods to get the most rapid relief we can. We focus on your goals, not someone else's.

Take back your inner and outer safety. Are you remembering incidents in your life that make you feel isolated, hypervigilant and unsafe? You may want the opportunity to share experiences with other survivors in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental atmosphere. Small individual groups for women will explore, learn and implement tools for boundary setting, reducing shame and guilt, and creating a map for safety, relatedness, hope and reconnection toward a sense of aliveness and vitality. An adult survivor recovery group, used in conjunction with individual psychotherapy is a meaningful and powerful resource in the healing process.

By narrating our experiences and molding them into stories, you can find peace and maybe feel like you regain your own power. In our therapy session, you’ll feel understood and safe. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can tell your story and process everything with me. I combine traditional talk therapy with somatic techniques to help you process difficult memories and tap into the body’s natural healing powers to calm your nervous system.

The traditional approaches to treating gambling addiction do not work for many people, and the philosophy and limited focus of Gamblers Anonymous are often not a good fit for higher-functioning, compulsive gamblers. I help you really figure it all out so you can overcome this addiction. My approach is flexible and individualized, and it can help almost anyone make substantial progress towards resolving their gambling addiction. I work with you to achieve your goals and ultimately build a truly fulfilling life for yourself. This may involve abstinence, learning moderation, or simply reducing your gambling to a more optimal level.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups

How can I find a support group in 10128?

Search for nearby support groups by inputting your city, zip code, or the name of the group into the search bar. From there, you can filter to find a group that suits your needs, whether you are looking for support for a teenager, a group that focuses on a specific issue, such as depression, or a particular program type, such as one geared toward developing social skills. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

How does group therapy work?

Therapy groups are led by one or more therapists and serve to help people process their experiences and learn from others who understand their challenges firsthand. They can be based on a specific issue, such as addiction, grief, physical illnesses, parenting, and caregiving. They can involve a specific type of program or therapy, such as a social skills group or CBT group. They can also be specific to a particular population or community, such as teens or LGBTQ.

Support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous, also focus on a specific issue, but are typically led by members with lived experiences and are less structured than therapy groups. Most therapy groups will meet for a fixed length of time with a consistent group of members, while many support groups meet for an indefinite period of time with members coming and going.

What are the benefits of group therapy?

Support groups help connect people with shared challenges or physical and mental health conditions. In a group setting, participants can receive support and feedback from peers and can acquire new skills, strategies and perspectives by listening to one another. Discussing your experience with someone who also has a cancer diagnosis, or whose son also struggles with addiction, for example, can help you feel less alone, reduce distress, find empathy and connection, and learn practical or medical information that has helped others. Group therapy can also be a more affordable option than individual therapy and just as effective.

Is group therapy as effective as individual therapy?

Support groups can be deeply valuable for both emotional support and/or treatment outcomes. It’s difficult to make a blanket statement on efficacy due to the many different types of support groups and conditions treated, but group therapy has been found to be just as effective as individual therapy in establishing long-term abstinence for conditions such as substance abuse, addiction and alcohol abuse.

How much does group therapy cost?

Group counseling is typically less expensive than individual counseling, with each session costing on average between $60 to $75. Meanwhile, individual therapy sessions can run anywhere from $100 to $200 and up, even after insurance. It is possible to find low-cost group therapy options and many therapists offer group sessions free of charge.

Does insurance cover group therapy?

As with individual therapy, many insurance companies do offer coverage for group therapy sessions. However, the coverage varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider. Individuals are encouraged to check with their insurance providers to verify coverage.

How long does group therapy last?

The length of a support group session is often one hour but can fall anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours. The amount of time that people remain in a support group varies based on their specific needs and goals and the type of therapy. Some individuals may seek a shorter-term group, such as a bereavement group, that may last between six and 20 weeks. Some may seek a longer-term group that lasts for a year or indefinitely.

What are the limitations of support groups?

Support groups have many benefits, but there are a few limitations as well. Support groups do not constitute formal therapeutic or medical treatment, and are not run by licensed mental health professionals, so some people may opt for group therapy or individual therapy instead. Additionally, support groups can depend on the other participants, so a disruptive individual has the potential to mar the group dynamic, and the anecdotal information shared may sometimes be unhelpful or inaccurate. Because it is a group setting, confidentiality can be more difficult to guard and participants receive less personalized attention than they would in an individual therapy session.
