Feeling lonely? Empty? Like something is missing? More and more research is validating the impact of a lack of love and emotional connection for a child with their parents in childhood. They say you can't miss what you never had but that just isn't the case when it comes the absence of the essential emotional needs that went unmet in childhood. Come to an innovative new group to connect with others who like you are grieving the loss of what they never had to start changing your negative beliefs, giving yourself the love, compassion and validation you never received and so deserve.

This group is a refuge where parents can explore difficult feelings around the specific challenges they face. We look at the unique experiences each of us bring to the group, and together we share stories, listen without judgment, and provide mutual support.
As facilitator, I encourage exploration of our identities as parents, and surface common themes. I also explain developmental processes. Most of all, I focus the group on the positive, long-term task of raising a separate, healthy human being.
Note: I organize groups around age-ranges, special needs, and other commonalities. If you are interested, we can talk on the phone.

I understand the profound impact these conditions can have on your daily life. The relentless drain of energy, the crippling anxieties, & the sense of hopelessness can make even the simplest tasks feel insurmountable.

This group is designed to help gay and queer men navigate their sexual identity and orientation. It focuses on “coming out”, dating, marriage, and family. Members share their experiences and help one another in negotiating the ups and down of gay life in the metropolitan area.
I am a compassionate, authentic, and concerned psychologist with over 30 years of experience treating adults, adolescents, and seniors. My specialties include narcissism, men's issues, marriage and relationship counseling, gay and lesbian treatment, and parent counseling. The bulk of my practice is individual psychotherapy. I provide a safe and nurturant environment with a cognitive behavioral approach combined with a dose of humor. I accept Aetna and Blue Cross but my services are available for out of network reimbursement.
This Interpersonal Process Group is a space to gain further insight into your relational and emotional tendencies with others, get and give direct feedback, try on new roles/ways of being/greater authenticity with others, and cultivate an intimate community with other men.

For men who have lived with the secret burden of sexual abuse, this is an opportunity to share your experiences with other survivors in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental atmosphere. Group participation is an important means of gaining access to empowerment, healing, and connection to others. The group explores issues of shame, guilt, safety, and relatedness and promotes greater self-awareness and responses to the challenges of life. The group is an adjunctive treatment modality for male survivors who are already in long-term individual therapy. You're welcome to email or call Dr. Singer for more information.
I believe life can get better. My style is active and emotionally connected, always respectful of the client's concerns, whether working with adults, children, or teens. My training helps me see the "big picture," but my skills include the flexibility to focus on concrete issues. Problems are quickly identified, because therapy does not have to last for years. Yet, many clients find value in examining life over the long term, within a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship, colored by directness, honesty, and humor.
This group is for single women who want to date with intention but are feeling overwhelmed and discouraged by the dating scene, especially navigating dating apps. We will explore individual barriers to dating with intention, how to quickly identify unhealthy dating patterns and steer clear of them, and what it means to actually date with intention. Group members will provide support to each other as they're taking risks and putting themselves out there (again and again). Group members should be open to using dating apps.
Are you wondering why you're still single? Are you attracted to men or women who are not available? And lack chemistry with those who are? You seem to be successful in your work-life but not in your love-life? Is this an ongoing issue? If you've answered "yes" to most of these questions, I may be able to help. Our past (for example, our relationship with our parents, our role in the family, our experience of trauma, etc.) may have something to do with whom we find ourselves attracted to. And so it’s less about the person you’re attracted to and more about your past.
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is not only extremely difficult, but it can feel very isolating. It's a pain that might be hard to explain to others, so seeking support from others who are also mourning can be a comforting experience. If you've lost a loved one, this support group can provide you with a therapeutic space to process your grief and feel less alone. You'll also learn helpful ways to cope with bereavement. This virtual group is held weekly via video conferencing.
I believe that the therapeutic journey is one that begins with stepping out of one's comfort zone and welcoming change. I make diligent efforts to create a safe space for my clients to openly talk about vulnerable issues. I work hard to build a strong alliance with my clients as well as a space that reflects my nonjudgmental and supportive stance. I specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts, trauma/ PTSD, adjustment issues, and self-esteem problems. I also provide therapy for challenges that relate to family conflict and divorce.
This is a psychoanalytically informed group open to adults from all backgrounds. We are accepting intakes now. We will explore group dynamics to learn about how you relate to others.

Group meets in New York, NY 10036
What does the shape of our lives reveal about our ideologies and our narrative of reality? How does psychotherapy help us examine this? The analytic space is dedicated to moving beyond the pressures of institutions and societal constraints that preexist us in order to seek the particular desires and needs in each of us. In treatment, we confront ourselves and our unique experience of the world so that we can explore possibilities for transformation. I am attuned to how one’s suffering may intersect with intimate relationships, inherited traumas, and systemic oppression. I welcome patients from diverse and non-normative backgrounds.
Maximizing your happiness.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups
How can I find a support group in 11213?
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.
