Support Groups in 91306
In our society, women seldom have a place to share/gain experience from other women. Women are the caretakers, home administrators, mother's, wives, and daughters who shoulder responsibilities for the whole community. Women need a place to relieve the stress and gain support from each other. Our group meets weekly to discuss women specific issues such as empty nest, raising families, body image, loneliness, sexuality, and ageing.

Years ago on my birthday, I walked home alone. I had a fun night with friends, flirted at the bar, but I had a feeling that there was something better out there for me. I didn’t know it at the time, but I needed a loving partnership that enabled everything else I wanted in life, and it was up to me to prioritize finding it. With a nurturing but challenging therapist, I began to realize that I would often get trapped in a big feeling, feel overwhelmed, and move away from it without really caring for myself. I started to clearly hear the other voices in my head, well-intentioned, but preventing me from getting the love I deserved.

I'm very body-centered, drawing on trauma-informed modalities adapted for Zoom, my office, or a ranch north of Burbank through equine-assisted therapy! My work aims for less thinking and more feeling, inviting the intuition of your body to lead the way. We'll use mindfulness to access the wisdom of your subconscious and heal wounded patterns at the source through gentle sensory and energetic explorations of feelings, experiences, belief systems, and relationships. The result is... letting go of results! And cultivating loving connection with yourself. If you crave holistic, experiential, artistic therapy my approach may be for you.

Are you seeking clarity, peace, and stability? Perhaps you have been to therapy before and are seeking a new approach. Maybe you feel trapped by big emotions, anxiety, or trauma and can’t see a way out. Through my own healing, constant curiosity, and rigorous training I have developed an approach that allows my clients to thrive.
Learn EFT in a supportive and affordable group environment and develop the ability to: 1) Identify manipulative and Narcissistic behavior in others 2) Identify feelings and unmet needs 3) Skillfully communicate your needs 4) Increase self esteem and self empowerment 5) Develop a nurturing inner dialog 5) Identify your relationship blueprint 6) Shift to healthier ways of coping and relating in your current relationship or attract and be attracted to healthier partners.

I specialize in cutting edge techniques that work at the level of the unconscious mind to help gently and efficiently shift unwanted patterns of behavior. We often don't realize that the way we respond and perceive things in the present is due to past programming. This programming not only creates a blueprint for who we choose and how we behave in our intimate relationships but also determines our ability to cope with stress and deal with painful emotions throughout our lifetime. The techniques I use and teach my clients work especially well with anxiety, phobias, depression and trauma.

I am not a typical therapist. I see myself as a co-author, witness, helpful ally, teammate, collaborator and useful resource. Rather than taking a role as an “expert” by making assumptions or interpretations about your life, I love to use skillful conversation and artful question-asking to help you get past obstacles and problems. You are here on this page because you have strength in you, you have desire in you and you have healing in you. You are the main character in your own life. Therapy can either help or hinder the development of this character as someone powerful, capable and whole.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups
How can I find a support group in 91306?
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.
