Support Groups in 19102
This is a group for parents who are clinicians themselves: psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, etc. It is a place to discuss the many feelings they experience while caring for their own infants and children as they arise, with the added dimension of a shared psychological background. Weekly meetings are guided by the specific needs or concerns of participants in a safe and supportive environment. Issues related to sleep, feeding, discipline, returning to work, and relationships with partners are frequent topics discussed with group leaders who are experienced in child development and parenting.

I believe in the Talking Cure. Life can be fraught with disappointments, losses, stressors and challenges that feel overwhelming and discouraging. Finding words to describe thoughts, feelings, past and present experiences, in presence of a compassionate and non-judgmental other, affords profound and lasting relief from the emotional discomfort that interferes with the ability to live the life one desires. Undigested emotional pain from the past can interfere with ones ability to live a full and satisfying life in the present. Identifying those emotions whose roots are in the past, frees us to live more fully in the here and now.
Has someone in your life made you feel like you are crazy? Have you felt like you are the problem? In this group, we get to discuss these different types of relationships and how they have shown up for us. We will navigate through this narcissistic abuse and how we move forward. Move forward for ourselves and with the support of a community. Led by expert group therapist, Jay Janicki, LPC.

This supervision group is designed for trans and non-binary (NB) therapists based on my experience running supervision groups through the Affirmative Therapy for Transgender Communities training. I am invested in shifting best practices from a trans-affirming model to a trans-centered model. I believe that the work that we do is sacred and the intent of this group is to provide a trans-centered and anti-racist space of curiosity, support, renewal, and healing that honors the diverse experiences of trans and NB clinicians and challenges white supremacy. This group is virtual. Times are EST.

These are uncertain times. Therapy can be an anchor as we all weather the unpredictable circumstances of our lives and the world around us. It can be a place to grow, heal, or make changes in your live that feel difficult. I work with clients who need help managing anxiety, are feeling sad or confused, or are going through a hard time. I see my job as sitting next to you, seeing the world through your eyes, and helping you come up with the plan that's right for you. I come from a relational and social justice perspective and bring tools from narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness based stress reduction.

The truth will set you free"... I became a therapist because I believe that through relationship, listening, and talking, a tremendous amount of healing can take place in a person's life. I believe in people and the potential for change and growth in their lives. I see therapy as a partnership in facilitating that change. I help people to free themselves from various things that hold them down, guilt, anger, shame, addictions, anxiety... I attempt to help people establish a more solid foundation of self worth, balance, love and flexibility to be able to negotiate the world, their relationships and themselves more successfully.

Couples come to me when they are caught in the same fights over and over again, after having hurt one another, and when they are wondering whether they can ever get back to enjoying their relationship. Couples and individuals also come to me for support during major transitions in their lives, like making big decisions or as their identities change with the arrival of a new baby, marriage, divorce, or death. I help clients grieve betrayals and hurts and develop more effective ways to be in conflict and understand one another. I help nurture love and intimacy for rebuilding and growing trust and pleasure in their relationships.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful therapy for individuals who have trouble regulating emotions & behaviors. These groups help replace problematic thought / behavior patterns with more adaptive ways of coping to create a "life worth living." We focus on 4 skills modules: 1) Mindfulness, 2) Distress Tolerance, 3) Emotion Regulation, & 4) Interpersonal Effectiveness. Our Intermediate & Advanced groups integrate didactic skills training with a psychodynamic group process, helping clients utilize existing skill-based knowledge in current life situations. Our next group launches in January 2024.

Many men tend to suppress their more vulnerable selves in daily life. However, being able to open up among peers & "say everything" can help increase emotional resiliency. This emotional resilience -- the capacity to feel disappointment, hurt, ambivalence, frustration, failure, impulses, etc. ... & still effectively work, love, & play -- is crucial for personal maturation. This 12-week men's group will catalyze the development of emotional resilience by helping participants feel more comfortable being self-aware & expressive in a safe therapeutic setting. Lastly, this group will expand participants' toolboxes of mindfulness & interpersonal skills. The next men's group will launch in Winter 2025.
