Our clinical focus is a "hybrid" approach combining Dialectical and Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Relational/Experiential therapy, primarily for the adolescent and emerging adult, but also working with adults, families and couples. Our clients struggle with regulating emotions, distress tolerance, core emptiness (confusion about oneself), as well as interpersonal conflict with frequent emotional chaos. Our time-limited, solution-focused technique is often sought to augment a person's existing individual therapy. Our approach is also effective in treating depression, self-injury, anxiety - focusing on coping skills. We are comprised of 4 licensed clinicians offering both individual, couple and group therapy.
The Relationships Process group is an interpersonal process group for people who would like to work on issues related to relationships such as intimacy, trust, self-esteem, care-taking, setting boundaries, as well as anxiety, depression, and other concerns. If you've ever wondered how other people perceive you, how your personality "comes off" to others, wanted deeper connection in your friendships and romantic relationships, or wanted to feel more confident about yourself, this group could benefit you. Research has shown that interpersonal process group therapy is an effective treatment for depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

I view psychotherapy as a process of exploration and affirmation of one's life path, including the experiences and wisdom gained along this journey. This is just the beginning point for the psychotherapeutic process of healing and identifying one's pathway to continue the journey of personal growth, transformation and achieving balance (mind, body & Spirit).
I see my role as a therapist as that of a witness and source of support and knowledge, joining with you to help facilitate the individual process of developing a deeper sense of self-awareness, achieving personal growth and transformation: to create the life you want.

After teaching meditation for several years, I've put these classes on hold since the pandemic. However, some clients have requested a brief introduction to meditation in the context of a therapy session. Most students discover they actually can meditate, and they come to love it, long for it, and find it subtly yet profoundly changing their lives for the better. As the interest in resuming classes has been high, I'll continue to assess and hope to resume classes again soon.

A lot of people come to therapy with questions, like Why isn’t my life working? Why do I feel so sad? How do I get unstuck? As our world is changing, so it demands us to evolve. Whether we are trying to overcome or let go of an old story, learn new boundaries, find love, or find our true path, “therapy,” a wide umbrella with many ways of untangling our confusions and sorrows, has evolved too. We have largely grown beyond a model of dis-ease into one of seeking wholeness, love, fulfillment, even self-love. With healing, we start to recognize yet another call: we may yearn to live a more meaningful life. But how do we get there?

Accepting virtual clients and MFT therapist trainees. I guide clients to understand what is driving their negative thoughts, why you can’t get out of the rut you find yourself in. We can work together to heal anxiety, depression, and trauma. Don't let your past keep controlling your future. Let's shift patterns that are running your life. Difficult experiences often result in patterns of thinking and behaviors that don't serve us well today.

Beyond the free flow of a support group setup, I will also be teaching and supporting good skills. We will work on mindfulness, emotion regulation, self love, setting boundaries and so much more for living a sparked life!

Spiritual based group psychotherapy is group therapy with a spiritual grounding. That means that the people who chose to be group members have a belief in a Power greater than themselves that can help them in their process.

I work with anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship issues. I've been a psychologist for over 35 years and I still love the work.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups
How can I find a support group in 80222?
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.

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.
