Groups
Couples Relational Group.
I would like to form a couples group lasting up to 1.5 hours at my N. Westshore Blvd office. There will be a six week commitment and the fee can be covered by insurance or private pay. The group will be open ended and the maximum number of clients in the group would be 12. I usually add on participants that have already seen me either in couples therapy or individually as they progress, and who want to be part of a group format, where they can experience bonding and cohesiveness with other couples, who share their concerns.
