“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.” (Alice Walker). One of women's most shared experiences is scarcity - the sense that there is never enough time, money or energy to meet our own needs after we have spent it all on everyone else. Let's talk about how to reclaim space in our lives for ourselves. Topics will include caregiving, boundaries, communication, self-esteem, body image, relationships and more. CURRENLY FULL

Everyone faces challenges in their lives that may cause stress, concerns, or behaviors that lead to a desire for change.

My intent is to facilitate that process. I believe in addressing the “whole person”: mentally, physically, emotionally & spiritually, in ways that fit you & your needs because it's You, by Us.

Worlds foremost Summer Camp Intensive Program for Teens 13-18. Proven Outcomes. Premiere video game addiction treatment for screen addicted adults since 2009. Depressed? Anxious? Internet Gaming Disorder, and excessive digital media use is now classified by the WHO as a problem. At reSTART, we've witnessed the countless ways tech use interferes with overall health and wellness. Some of the problems we see involve a decline in academic performance, unhealthy sleep habits, poor diet, impaired family and social relationships, and a decrease in motivation (other than to be online). Over time, excessive use acts in similar ways as does a drug like cocaine. Tolerance is built up, and an even greater amount of time is spent online to keep feeling good. Over the past decade, we've discovered that the problem is much deeper than screen use, or depression alone. These are actually the side effects. Often at the core of the issue is a desire for greater love, connection and belonging. Our program is built on the belief that lasting change requires a deep examination of what's underneath a person's excessive screen use.

Are you a woman who feels overwhelmed, panicky or anxious?. Maybe you found this page because you are looking for answers and companionship on your journey with and through anxiety. I know, I’ve been there too. Anxiety can rob us of feeling safe, of our joy and connection, our vitality, and of our sense of well-being. It can leave us feeling exhausted and burnt out, unable to relax, sleep, eat well, and trust that everything is going to be okay. And as women, so much is asked of us from a culture that does little to support us, leaving us with no time to slow down, rest and care for ourselves.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups

How can I find a support group in 98198?

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.
