Recovery treatment aftercare gives people in early recovery from addiction a vehicle for transitioning from the safe treatment environment to the "outside" where life's challenges are now to be surmounted without the use of substances. Aftercare is a forum in which clients explore successes and challenges as they arise, in a safe and supportive place. Group members work on developing strategies that help them to sustain the gains made in treatment, manage emotions, build trust and explore the underlying issues that drove their self-destructive behaviors.

For men who have lived with the secret burden of sexual abuse, this is an opportunity to share your experiences with other survivors in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental atmosphere. Group participation is an important means of gaining access to empowerment, healing, and connection to others. The group explores issues of shame, guilt, safety, and relatedness and promotes greater self-awareness and responses to the challenges of life. The group is an adjunctive treatment modality for male survivors who are already in long-term individual therapy. You're welcome to email or call Dr. Singer for more information.

A unique group aimed to unite and support grieving daughters / womxn who lost their mothers before age 20. Focus will be on the complexities of navigating the world after the loss of a mother. In particular, the group will examine: the unfolding of grief; obstacles to the grieving process; finding one’s identity amidst an early parental loss; impact of loss on present relationships; continuing bonds; coping with loss; mothering without a mother (applies to: existing moms, moms-to-be, and those ambivalent to motherhood); parenting ourselves. Best suited to those whose loss occurred more than 12 months ago.

Group therapy helps people learn about themselves and improve their interpersonal relationships. It addresses feelings of isolation, depression or anxiety. In group therapy, you learn that perhaps you’re not as different as you think or that you’re not alone. You’ll meet and interact with people, and the whole group learns to work on shared problems -- one of the most beneficial aspects.

Group meets Wednesdays 8-9:30pm remotely and quarterly in person. I encourage new members to speak about their concerns, or remain silent and eventually discuss thoughts with the group. The leader with members help others to express stifled emotions, understand behaviors, experiment with new attitudes and ways of coping in a safe and secure environment. The group is a powerful lab for change. Each session allows members to see patterns that are inhibiting success. The new learning usually affects ones relationships outside the group in positive ways. The group is particularly helpful to individuals having unsatisfactory or very frustrating and disappointing relationships with others.
