Support Groups in San Diego, CA
Interpersonal Process Groups are typically unstructured, allowing participants to share their concerns in a supportive setting. Unlike conventional support groups, a therapist facilitates focus on the interpersonal dynamics that arise during discussions. People often follow habitual patterns of thinking and behavior in interactions, some helpful (e.g., expressing empathy) and others problematic (e.g., perceiving constructive feedback as criticism). As trust builds, these patterns naturally emerge, and the facilitator, along with group members, helps individuals recognize and address them. Find out more: www.MenExcel.com/mens-groups

As a therapist, I am dedicated to providing treatment to children, adolescents, and their families in a warm, caring environment. Coping with your child's behavior, diagnosis, or disability can be quite distressing. I identify both your child's strengths as well as challenges to determine the focus of treatment. Therapy is a collaborative model with parents to foster the development of social, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive skills. I believe it is important to coordinate services with psychiatrists, school staff, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and other professionals to provide the most comprehensive treatment for your child.

How do I know if my sexual behavior is out of control? For many men this question is very subjective and they unfortunately wait for a spouse, loved one or their employer to discover their hidden sexual life before considering help. At The Harvey Institute we believe the most important person to evaluate his personal conflict with regulating sexual behavior is the man experiencing the dilemma. We help men contemplate "What is your conflict with your sexual behavior?" and "What is your vision for your sexual health?" We strive to provide a safe, sexually informed and confidential space for sexual health conversations.

You are stuck in the same pattern, numbing out, watching tv, not paying attention to your wants and needs. Instead sticking with what you've always known, asking yourself why can't I just make a change? You wonder what's wrong with you. You know what you need to do, you just don't do it. You talk to yourself, hype yourself up even, only finding yourself still stuck in that rut, hours spent on the couch, binge watching, unmotivated and hoping tomorrow might be different. You are so mad at yourself! You just want to do something good for yourself, to start a better habit but once again, you go to bed not having made a single change.

My goal is to help people put their life back on track! Eating, weight and body image issues can derail a person's focus and purpose. Healing from the inside out and the outside in releases a person from the tyranny of perfection. Learning to put food and feelings into proper perspective is a realistic and achievable goal.
