Support Groups in 55057

This online therapy group is for college students that can sense that psychological healing will come through authentic connections with other people. We focus on developing shame resilience, and we attend to each group member's goals (e.g. social anxiety, depression, desire for emotional intimacy, lack of assertiveness, low self worth). It is an interpersonal process group, which means we continually attend to our here-and-now interactions so that we can better recognize our patterns and change them. It is a powerful treatment modality and is designed to help clients obtain long-term characterlogical change.

Together, we’ll compassionately improve your relationship with yourself, embracing all emotions and vulnerability. The goal is to transform self-critical patterns and reconnect with a strong sense of self-worth and belonging.

I focus on building a strong foundational relationship with clients, collaboratively developing self-awareness, mood-stabilizing skills and communication tools that allow for the safe reprocessing of difficult experiences and emotions. I work with people who have experienced a range of challenges, from difficulties with life adjustments to complicated trauma and loss. It is important to me that clients understand that difficult and traumatic experiences can arise from a seemingly “normal” childhood or life event. Therapeutic support and guidance for any destabilizing event or emotion is a valuable resource.

We offer Adult DBT IOP (18+) and Adolescent DBT IOP (12-17). Both Programs Include: One hour of individual therapy with a DBT-trained therapist and Two hours of DBT Skills Training Group weekly. Most clients will participate in the DBT program for between six to twelve months. DBT utilizes mindful awareness to help people increase their emotional and cognitive regulation by learning about the triggers that lead to reactive states, and helping to assess which coping skills to apply in the sequence of events, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help avoid undesired reactions.

Ever feel like your emotions are running the show? Maybe you struggle with intense anger, overwhelming sadness, or crippling anxiety. Perhaps past experiences from your childhood are influencing how you show up in your relationships with friends, family, and partners. You've been in therapy before, and while it sometimes feels helpful to talk to someone, you still feel like life is a constant battle. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone! Many people experience emotional dysregulation and don't find the relief they are looking for in traditional therapy alone. The good news is, there IS hope, and there are more options!

I run three different groups designed for therapists. These ONLINE groups are for therapists that are wanting an interpersonal process group experience. It is NOT a therapy group, yet the bounds of confidentiality are maintained in the same way as a therapy group. Structure is 75 minutes of process and 15 minutes of debrief. $100/session with sliding scale options, and you may use professional development funding. Contact me to schedule a 15-minute consultation to help determine if you are a good fit.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups

How can I find a support group in 55057?

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.
