All human beings can experience growth, healing and success in their lives if they receive adequate support from others who genuinely care about them.

Most of the work I do is individual therapy and group therapy with men, couples therapy and family systems work. The struggles my clients face are often related to loss/trauma, relationship issues, men's issues, parenting, divorce recovery and emotional isolation.

My training is in Marriage and Family Therapy, the Anchored Relational Model for treatment of complex trauma, and various individual therapy models (CBT, IFS). I use the Enneagram personality type system in my practice as well. I am passionate about helping clients find short-term relief while working toward long-term solutions

Groups

Friday Morning Online Men's Groups

Hosted by

John Ostby

I facilitate two Friday morning online men's process groups that meet every other week for 2 hours. These groups are LGBTQ-affirming and welcome men regardless of their faith tradition and socio-political viewpoint. Topics include: relationships, healing from loss, trauma, family of origin, parenting, divorce, mental health concerns, etc. I am careful to put the right mix of people together in each of my groups. These groups are ongoing; members stay in as long as it is helpful. We also meet in-person a few times per year for optional Saturday retreats.
