I am currently collecting names of those interested in the next group which will begin this February, exact day and time TBD. This is a process therapy group that is aimed at helping members to improve self-understanding and navigate relationships with others, using interpersonal therapy and mindfulness. Most find that group therapy can be a powerful tool to gain insight and make significant strides both intra-personally and interpersonally in a relatively short time. We’ll also have experiential field trips to facilitate embodiment in nature. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or interest!

This one time 90-minute virtual class is for people who look “fine” on the outside but feel stuck in anxious overdrive. Using neuroscience-based strategies, you’ll learn how to interrupt anxiety loops, increase a sense of safety, and regain control over your reactions, without relying on avoidance, reassurance, or willpower. This is a class and not psychotherapy. Call or text 423-275-2121 or e-mail me through Peychology today for more information.
