As founder of Gentle Growth Therapeutic Services, I provide psychotherapy to adults and adolescents who are seeking to heal from the results of painful childhoods and current losses. It is important to me that people feel both understood by me, and that I am connected to them. We discuss ideas or questions about our work together, if needed. People with whom I work are concerned about stress, family problems, addiction, childhood abuse, divorce or domestic violence. I am most excited and enlivened when I witness people gain new understanding about their situations or find and use new personal strengths.

Fibromyalgia and other Chronic Pain conditions can be painful, confusing, frustrating, and isolating.

Although there is increasing research regarding the many impacts of chronic pain, which may include, but is not limited to, depression, anxiety, fatigue, sleep challenges, and headaches, it can be healing to share your experiences with others who are going through the similar challenges.

Bulimia by it's very nature is a struggle that is done in isolation and secret, yet it can fully dominate one's world. A group approach is often essential to break the double-life dynamic of secrecy and shame. In an environment of safety, confidentiality and education one can start the process of redirecting the pattern of binge-purge and denial loosening and mitigating a sense of helplessness. The 12 module recovery group addresses issues in one's everyday system and offers the best up to date understanding of the biochemistry of food addiction and breaking dependency on bulimia.

Through trust and collaboration we start to build understanding so the anxiety and depression often seen with food concerns doesn't dominate one's life. Struggling with food can lead to obesity, bulimia and anorexia. Definitions of addiction are complicated but if you think of food before relationships, or you're in a physical and psychological state you feel you cannot share with others then maybe it's time to come in for healing. I've had the honor of working with hundreds of people over the past 25 years witnessing and fostering recovery from eating issues and related disorders.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups

How can I find a support group in Chappaqua?

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.
