I am currently running a weekly psychotherapy group for gay and bisexual men who want to explore their relationship to substance use and its connection to sex, identity, internalized homophobia, and other issues. The group would be supportive and allow participants to create and work on their own goals. I am an Aetna and UMR provider and members can be self pay. I have run similar groups for over 15 years.

Although both men and women deal with body image and weight loss this group is designed specifically for women. In a safe and accepting environment we explore the ongoing emotional components of dealing with body image and the lifetime efforts to lose weight. Through the process of self understanding and acceptance we learn to look at our individual issues, our role in society, our personal expectations and ultimately self acceptance.

You're more than twice as likely to quit smoking if you use nicotine replacement, medications, or group therapy than if you do nothing at all, according to John R. Hughes, MD, who has studied smoking cessation programs. Using SmokEnders techniques, both the physical and psychological aspects of smoking are addressed, making it more effective and supportive.

In this group, we will address in a safe, non-judgemental and highly supportive environment the diverse range of experiences of men in relationships that are either turbulent and high in conflict or else semi-dead where there is little to no intimacy. One of the major goals of this group is to break the barrier of silence and shame that prevents men from getting the support that they need as they struggle to navigate challenging relationships on their own. Respect for different needs, preferences and perspectives will be a guiding principle of the group. Group sessions last ninety minutes.
