Groups
G-TEP (Group EMDR)

The Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP) is a structured, group-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma. It provides a safe space to explore how trauma has impacted your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, without reliving the traumatic event itself. Through guided steps, G-TEP helps you reframe your experience, reduce emotional distress, and integrate the healing process.

G-PEP (Empowering Parents Group with EMDR)

The G-PEP therapy group supports parents navigating stress and adversity while raising children with traumatic histories. Combining tools like the 'Wheel of Parenting' (Gómez) and elements from G-TEP (E. Shapiro) and DIR (Leeds & Korn), the group helps parents enhance emotional regulation, mentalization, and connection with their child. Through metaphors and imagery, parents learn how to better respond to their child’s needs and process struggles that may hinder their ability to engage effectively. This group offers both parenting education and therapeutic support, empowering parents to feel more confident and connected in their parenting journey.
