Whether you are working, a full time student or parenting, chronic stress can harm our health and relationships. Research on stress has determined that chronic stress decreases our life span by 6-7 years and contributes to health issues. Managing stress is not enough: learning to reduce stress and manage our emotions about stressful circumstances is the goal. This group will focus on identifying stressors, understanding the impact on health and relationships, and learning ways to stress less and enjoy life. If you are struggling with health or relational issues related to stress, this is the group for you.

Our mental fitness is just as important as our physical fitness. Investing in our total health includes learning how to manage challenges, emotions and relationships. I work with adults, teens and couples on issues such as stress, anxiety and depression. Allowing yourself to receive support during periods of stress or change can create opportunities for growth. Self-awareness and learning coping skills can help with navigating through current and future challenges. Whether you are new to therapy or returning, be confident that investing in mental health is a step toward living the life you imagined.
If you or family member is suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a group may support the mental health care you are receiving.

The ideal participant is aware of BDD and motivated to treat and overcome this disabling condition. Participants will learn strategies to treat Body Dysmorphic Disorder as well as receive the added benefit of group support. Meeting times will be in the evening. Please contact Margaret for more details.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Support Groups
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
