Groups
Relationships Group
The goal of this group is to help you understand interpersonal relationships and get more of the gratification and intimacy you want from others. As a member of this group, you will find out how you affect and are affected by other people, learn to improve communication and interpersonal skills and cultivate more nurturing relationships. Together, we will explore your psychological development and examine how you relate to other members of the group working in the 'here-and-now'. This group is ongoing and is open to adult men and women of all ages.

Adolescent Growth Group
One of the most powerful ways to develop psychologically is in a professionally led group for teenagers. Here they can learn to observe their strengths and weaknesses, and discover alternative ways to overcome their hurdles. Finding one's voice in group becomes a template for life. Feedback from other teenagers holds a great deal of weight - this improves self-reflection skills which lead to stronger friendships, less family conflict, better self esteem, and improved school performance. In a word - maturity. Groups are nurturing and non-critical and this helps teenagers to feel at ease. Open to 14 to 18 year-olds. A few spaces remain.
