Emotional Brain Training teaches specific brain-based skills to decrease automatic stress responses. Through practice, these skills train the brain to shift from stress to well-being. Many participants find their emotional symptoms of anxiety and depression lessen, their unwanted behaviors (over-eating, over-spending decrease and their health issues (blood pressure, pain) improve as their brains learn to find the pathway to turning on the natural reward centers. The class creates a community that provides the social contact the brain craves and reinforces practicing the skills. This researched method is based on the principles of neuorscience and brain plasticity.

Hello. If you are looking for a therapist, the most important thing is for you to work with someone who will relate specifically to you and can help you heal. I work with each client as a unique individual with a goal to heal the whole person. Real and lasting change comes not only from an understanding of your issues and concerns, but from creating corrective emotional experiences that allow you to release old and unproductive patterns of thinking and behaving.
In this group, we spend our time witnessing 1-2 participants dreams per session. We explore dream content through an expressive arts lens, seeking a deeper understanding of the dream content as dreamer and witness. We work to integrate the dream's messages or meaning in our waking life. Participants often experience connections personally as witness and take away rich insights from their own dream exploration. Examples of expressive exercises include guided meditation, dream re-entry, dream re-enactment as a group, dream content-based poetry or art creation, character or role exploration, and more. Limited to 10 participants.

Life is messy. In the hustle and bustle of everyday, it’s easy to feel lost and unsupported. These challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate them alone. I opened the doors of Minding the Gaps Therapy to create and hold a safe space for clients just like you. My approach is client-centered, compassionate, and nonjudgmental, focusing on empowering you to find your own path while being there to guide and support you every step of the way.
An 8-week therapeutic group that utilizes evidence-based techniques to address anxiety and improve stress management skills. This group will be co-facilitated by counselors Christopher Pugh, MA, LMHCA, SUDPT, and Jennifer Walter, MA, LMHC, SUDP, and will include 8 participants per cohort. Participants will receive psychoeducation and will also engage in processing with one another in a safe, confidential, supportive environment. Participants will be given weekly "homework" to explore personal goals, barriers to success, and to practice the skills covered in the group curriculum.
My clients often come to me because they are struggling with addictions, trauma, parenting issues, or mood disorders (anxiety, depression). I have experience with a wide range of disorders and issues—reach out to me for a free consultation and let’s see if we are a good fit! I like using DBT, CBT and Polyvagal Theory in therapy. I can help you “re-wire” your brain’s responses, helping you live the happier, healthier life you want.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups
How can I find a support group in 98021?
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.
