Have you been feeling overwhelmed? anxious? or not like yourself lately? If you’ve been struggling lately, know that you are not alone. The last few years have been challenging for many people due to the ongoing pandemic, which has caused a lot of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. It's normal to feel overwhelmed and to experience a range of negative emotions during these times. However, with the right support, healing and positive changes can occur. As a Licensed Clinical therapist, I can provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore the patterns and behaviors that may no longer be serving you.

Group meets in Patchogue, NY 11772
All of us can become overwhelmed by life's demands, work responsibilities and relationship challenges. Struggles may seem to resolve over time but yet the same conflicts keep popping up again and again. Attempts to resolve or neutralize their impact, stretch our limits and move boundaries and abandon goals; ultimately losing sight of who we are. I encourage you to take a risk: give yourself permission and time to sort through your thoughts and feelings so you can restore energy and clarity to re-assess personal needs and goals.

I created this group to help us learn what I find the missing link of most therapies. It involves tapping into the body’s internal sense of safety, which happens in the biology, in the nervous system. In order to heal, change or let go, the body needs to feel safe enough to do something different. Expect to learn basic physiology of stress, how to physically support the nervous system and engage and connect with others on the healing journey! We often get hurt in relationship, but we also heal in relationship. Healing is YOU, IN power! This group meets 2x monthly.

The DBT skills group is an didactic skills group that aims to help clients learn, understand, and apply skills out of each DBT module (Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness). Groups begin with a mindfulness practice and homework review from the previous week. Each group session will teach a specific skill and provide an opportunity to discuss successful planning and implementation of the skill and factors that could make the skill challenging to master. There is a separate parent group that takes place weekly where parents/family members learn the same skills that the adolescent is learning.

Learn about strategies for noticing and managing the difficult thoughts and feelings that come up throughout the chronic health experience. Through this group you will get a foundational understanding of one therapeutic modality that can be particularly helpful in the management of ongoing health issues: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). Many modalities seek symptom reduction as an outcome of treatment, however with ongoing health issues, symptom reduction may not be a realistic or appropriate end goal. As such, the ACT approach of pursuing what is important and fulfilling in the presence of symptoms emerges as a more realistic and helpful endeavor.

If you’re seeking grief counseling, it’s likely because the weight of your loss feels unbearable. You may feel overwhelmed by sadness, anger, or guilt, with waves of grief hitting unexpectedly. It can feel like you’re stuck, unsure how to cope. Grief often leaves you exhausted, disrupting your sleep, appetite, and energy. Your thoughts may be consumed by memories and disbelief, making it hard to focus.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups

How can I find a support group in 11772?

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.
