Groups

Men's Psychotherapy Group

Hosted by
Robin Briskin-Berenson

Support for the challenges of being a man, partner and/or father. Men deal with unique social pressures that often reinforce isolation and suffering. Luckily with gender identity becoming more fluid, more basic human needs can be met for both genders. This includes needs for intimacy, connection, and belonging as well as needs to feel powerful, skilled, and competent. The group strives to support each individual as he manages social pressures and life challenges while finding direction in life.
