Current openings for in person and virtual group therapy. Are you ready to start improving your relationships and seeing yourself more clearly? Do you yearn for a sense of belonging where you don’t have to contort yourself to fit in? Would you like to have the person you are becoming witnessed and supported? Groups function as a microcosm of the real world, and give us an opportunity to understand our patterns in relationship and receive valuable feedback. Over time, group members learn they can be more fully themselves with others and gain confidence and capacity for more satisfying connections.
Hearing from others who have dealt with similar issues can help us understand our own predicaments; and having an opportunity to tell our stories can empower us to find our voice. Group provides the opportunity to be part of a diverse community that supports you through ups and downs and where you can emerge as more fully yourself and be seen in your growth.
Contact Bay Area Group Therapy Center for a free 15-minute phone consultation with a highly trained and experienced group therapist to explore if group is right for you. We currently offer in-person and virtual process groups including a neurodiverse group and majority LGBTQIA and majority BIPOC groups and match interested folks with the best group.
