Groups
Weekly men's group
I co-lead, with Dr. Jim O'Neil, a weekly men's therapy group. We have done this group together for over 30 years. Men in the group work on a range of issues--intimate relationships, parenting, work issues, meaning of life issues, and other goals each man is addressing. The group serves as a container for and laboratory for identifying healthier behaviors, practicing them in group, and carrying them into all dimensions of their lives. By doing this, the group becomes an experience in a community committed to the healthy growth of each member.

Twice a month co-ed support group
For the past 14 years, I have led a twice-a-month support therapy group. This group was started in the wake of Hurricane Katrina for clients to do longer-term work in an affordable way. The women and men in this group work on: intimate relationships, parenting, work issues, meaning of life issues, and other goals. The group serves as a container for and laboratory for identifying healthier behaviors and carrying them into all dimensions of their lives. By doing this, the group becomes an experience in a community committed to the healthy growth of each member.

Supervision and Consultation Group
While teaching practice courses at the Tulane School of Social Work for 30 years, I have also enjoyed mentoring younger social workers in supervision and consultation groups. I share handouts and techniques I have learned from a range of trainings--including Mentalization-based Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Bowenian Family Systems, Yalom's interpersonal/existential group psychotherapy, Walsh's approach to spirituality in therapy, and McGoldrick's, Boyd-Franklin's, Falicov's, and Aponte's multi-cultural approaches to family therapy. I also encourage group participants to develop their own specialities and to share them in the group.
