A couple's intensive, as opposed to traditional 50-minute therapy sessions, offers several advantages. It provides a focused, immersive experience where you and your partner spend concentrated time addressing relationship issues. This can lead to accelerated progress, deeper exploration of dynamics, and a stronger, uninterrupted connection. Intensives often include a comprehensive approach, guided exercises, and a safe space to address sensitive topics. They can be tailored to your unique needs and provide an opportunity to recharge and renew your relationship. However, the suitability of intensives depends on the specific circumstances and the willingness of both partners to engage fully.

Not a group but a couple's retreat. Couples may come for 3-5 days and stay in our Airbnb (or a location of your choice). We'll do an extended couples' session each day, and an EMDR session with each person, which helps release and resolve anxiety, anger, grief, triggers from relationship issues such as broken trust, arguments, etc. If you are local, we can do intensive work without your staying here. With intensive work we can go much deeper than in weekly sessions. EMDR greatly assists in this process. For more information about EMDR, see my website.

Our anger management group is specifically designed for people who realize they have a problem with controlling their emotions and impulses, their reactions to feelings of anger, and find it difficult to respond to challenging situations of any nature in a non-harmful way. Typically, anger is a secondary emotional response to a primary emotion (sadness, fear, etc.) can be found underneath the anger. Fear includes feelings like anxiety and worry, and sadness comes from the experience of loss, disappointment, or discouragement. This class is offered nationwide and also in Spanish if requested.

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.
