I proudly identify as an LGBTQ therapist who believes in a therapeutic relationship that is stepped in active-listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. In turn, this allows for clients to feel safe and secure when we engage in a therapeutic relationship. Therapy is about being yourself without the judgment of the world; and it is a discovery process that gives you the opportunity to visualize possibilities in life. My attention is drawn to connecting with clients, being collaborative and interactive, and learning how to help clients become unstuck in life.
In an open or polyamorous relationship? Considering trying it out? So many people are in these types of relationships, but very few share experiences, making it harder to navigate conflict. Jealousy, emotional flare-ups, poor communication and simply juggling all of the moving parts are common challenges. Group therapy can help! Join a group of like-minded folks, guided by a licensed therapist. Socialize, share personal experiences and learn current research in a fun, supportive environment. Build the skills it takes to have the sexual and intimate relationships that you want! Reach out to schedule a brief consultation.

Do you feel misunderstood or unaccepted? Does it feel impossible to be your true self and be happy? Living inauthentically can lead to pain and make it hard to live a fulfilling life. We live in a tough world that forces people to “fit in” to be accepted. Deep dissatisfaction, sadness, worry and low self-esteem often result from this pressure and can make it feel next to impossible to find a path to joy and fulfillment. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I empathize deeply with these experiences. The great news is change happens and you are on your way, having taken this first step to find a therapist.

Challenges balancing work and life pressures? Does the grind of auditions make you want to throw in the towel? Whether in the industry or trying to break in, performers face unique challenges. Those working can be stressed and exhausted and often find challenges with representation, interacting with large personalities and difficult creative teams. Those trying to get their break, working in survival jobs, often feel unfulfilled and like they lack purpose. Group therapy can help! Join others like you, socialize, share experiences and build the skills it takes to keep pounding the pavement and create the life you want!

Putting yourself first does not come easily to everyone. However, it is actually the number one action you can take for a happy and successful life. I know how challenging it can be to prioritize yourself, since you were taught from an early age that others’ needs were more important than yours. When you attempt to put yourself first, you are considered “selfish." When you attempt to speak up you are considered “difficult.” If you are often made to feel wrong for having needs, and you are unable to set boundaries with others, then how can you expect to trust yourself enough to feel good, and respect yourself?

I am a licensed DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) therapist, and I work with adults and teens facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder (BPD), PTSD, chronic illness, and neurodiversity-related concerns. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs.

In this group, we will address in a safe, non-judgemental and highly supportive environment the diverse range of experiences of men in relationships that are either turbulent and high in conflict or else semi-dead where there is little to no intimacy. One of the major goals of this group is to break the barrier of silence and shame that prevents men from getting the support that they need as they struggle to navigate challenging relationships on their own. Respect for different needs, preferences and perspectives will be a guiding principle of the group. Group sessions last ninety minutes.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups
How can I find a support group in 10020?
Search for nearby support groups by inputting your city, zip code, or the name of the group into the search bar. From there, you can filter to find a group that suits your needs, whether you are looking for support for a teenager, a group that focuses on a specific issue, such as depression, or a particular program type, such as one geared toward developing social skills. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.
How does group therapy work?
Therapy groups are led by one or more therapists and serve to help people process their experiences and learn from others who understand their challenges firsthand. They can be based on a specific issue, such as addiction, grief, physical illnesses, parenting, and caregiving. They can involve a specific type of program or therapy, such as a social skills group or CBT group. They can also be specific to a particular population or community, such as teens or LGBTQ.
Support groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous, also focus on a specific issue, but are typically led by members with lived experiences and are less structured than therapy groups. Most therapy groups will meet for a fixed length of time with a consistent group of members, while many support groups meet for an indefinite period of time with members coming and going.

What are the benefits of group therapy?
Support groups help connect people with shared challenges or physical and mental health conditions. In a group setting, participants can receive support and feedback from peers and can acquire new skills, strategies and perspectives by listening to one another. Discussing your experience with someone who also has a cancer diagnosis, or whose son also struggles with addiction, for example, can help you feel less alone, reduce distress, find empathy and connection, and learn practical or medical information that has helped others. Group therapy can also be a more affordable option than individual therapy and just as effective.
Is group therapy as effective as individual therapy?
Support groups can be deeply valuable for both emotional support and/or treatment outcomes. It’s difficult to make a blanket statement on efficacy due to the many different types of support groups and conditions treated, but group therapy has been found to be just as effective as individual therapy in establishing long-term abstinence for conditions such as substance abuse, addiction and alcohol abuse.
How much does group therapy cost?
Group counseling is typically less expensive than individual counseling, with each session costing on average between $60 to $75. Meanwhile, individual therapy sessions can run anywhere from $100 to $200 and up, even after insurance. It is possible to find low-cost group therapy options and many therapists offer group sessions free of charge.
Does insurance cover group therapy?
As with individual therapy, many insurance companies do offer coverage for group therapy sessions. However, the coverage varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider. Individuals are encouraged to check with their insurance providers to verify coverage.
How long does group therapy last?
The length of a support group session is often one hour but can fall anywhere between 45 minutes and two hours. The amount of time that people remain in a support group varies based on their specific needs and goals and the type of therapy. Some individuals may seek a shorter-term group, such as a bereavement group, that may last between six and 20 weeks. Some may seek a longer-term group that lasts for a year or indefinitely.
What are the limitations of support groups?
Support groups have many benefits, but there are a few limitations as well. Support groups do not constitute formal therapeutic or medical treatment, and are not run by licensed mental health professionals, so some people may opt for group therapy or individual therapy instead. Additionally, support groups can depend on the other participants, so a disruptive individual has the potential to mar the group dynamic, and the anecdotal information shared may sometimes be unhelpful or inaccurate. Because it is a group setting, confidentiality can be more difficult to guard and participants receive less personalized attention than they would in an individual therapy session.
