As a family systems therapist with an interest in couples reconciliation therapy and healing relational trauma from infidelity, I am passionate about walking beside you to work through the pain and confusion of your life situation.  Intimate betrayal is one of the most devastating and disorienting events that can happen to a relationship.  The betrayed partner is left questioning fundamental beliefs and wrestling with the very existence of truth, love and relationship history. I also work with couples who long to enhance communication, connection, and build shared long term goals and values.

Our practice name, logo, and motto, "Therapy for the Emotional Intelligence in You,” reflect the belief that what is needed for overcoming an issue is already within. Pulling this intelligence into awareness is a form of learning we call insight. When insight becomes blocked by stress, significant life events, etc., then developing a trusting relationship with an objective confidant, who doesn’t feel burdened by your troubles, can help in the process of bringing this intelligence into light. Your wellness is invaluable, and that value begins with finding the care that aligns best with You. Website: https://eastsideinsight.com/

Trust, initially, is not earned, it is a risk. And so it means if you experience distrust upon our first encounter, well then you might just be a member of the human race. The safer someone is, the more likely they are to venture into trust, and so this is the primary specialization of therapy, to create a space that is safe. There are varying degrees of safety, but for the most part it comes when: you can be yourself, feel acceptance and positive regard, do not have to protect yourself from abusive behavior, experience confidentiality and kindness, a willingness by someone to help, and that the person before you is authentic.

A space where guys can come together to be seen and heard, to receive and offer support and accountability, and to progress through life together. This is about growth and leveling up. Being in connection with others is how we evolved and an unfortunate consequence of modernity is that men are more disconnected than at any other point in history. This is an opportunity to regain connection, expand your self-awareness, and to form lifelong connections with like-minded men. We meetup several times a year for in-person retreats or ‘growth weekends’.

In the aftermath of traumatic experiences, life might feel like a bit of a dumpster fire. Weeks, months, or years afterwards, it can feel overwhelming and confusing to untangle the complex web of how trauma has affected your life, relationships, health, and wellbeing. Perhaps you're feeling disconnected from others or from yourself, struggling with trust, or finding it difficult to manage daily life. It may be the first time you're talking about it. These responses are normal reactions to abnormal situations, and you don't have to navigate them alone.

Being a betrayed partner can be an isolating experience as often partners do not talk to their family or friends because of embarrassment, shame or a desire to protect their spouses. Isolation can exacerbate the pain, shame and trauma caused by sexual betrayal. These groups provide a space for betrayed partners to gain support from other people who have experienced similar trauma. These structured groups are led by practitioners who specialize in sex addiction and partner trauma. These groups have an emphasis on self care and emotional regulation. Weekly check-ins with peer and therapist feedback offers support.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups

How can I find a support group in Issaquah?

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.
