Support Groups in 98112
Am I being understood? Why do I feel disconnected? Relationships...How do I do it? Do these questions speak to your experience? If so, I would like to invite you to a therapy group for men and women which will address and explore relationship issues. The aim of the group is to bring awareness to how our communication styles impact others and how this affects the quality of our relationships. We will explore ways to manage relational anxiety by both participating and reflecting on our experiences as they occur outside and inside the group. The group will be co-facilitated by Cyndee Baldwin and myself.

Therapy is an opportunity to engage in a healing relationship unlike most others. The focus is on you: your feelings, your thoughts, your strengths, and insecurities. My job is to support you as you work your way toward understanding, accepting, and growing into yourself. Psychotherapy involves exploring feelings, perceptions, and beliefs about oneself and others, understanding how and why self-defeating or painful patterns of living have developed, and discovering how to modify them. I am committed to helping you discover and speak the truth of your experience, including parts of you that may have been left unspoken and unlived.
We offer counseling and psychiatric services to greater Seattle. We work with adults, children, teens, couples, and families of all constellations. We are home to the Seattle Relationship Clinic where our clinicians specialize in working with couples and helping individuals have more satisfying relationships. Our work is grounded in scientific research and phenomenological inquiry. Our approach is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to meet your specific needs. We are committed to helping you examine what leads you towards or away from health, experiment with things you can change, and learn how to live peacefully with what is beyond your control.

This is an in-person six week session of group therapy centered around the use and language of Tarot cards.

I will have a few to share for those who need them. Next session beginning March 13th.
I offer a trauma-informed, creative, and personalized approach to work with you as you explore how to reconnect to your innate ability to thrive. Together we will explore how your experiences have impacted your relationship to yourself and the world around you through.

I enjoy working with adults 18+ of all genders, existentialists, artists, and bookworms.
Inner voice telling you that you’ll never be enough? Feel like you’re unworthy of friends, happiness, success, love, or any of the things you want? Perfectionism leading to decision paralysis & holding yourself to impossible standards? If you grew up surrounded by critical adults, you may be familiar with some of these thoughts & feelings. It can be challenging to break the hold they have on us. If you are a woman struggling with this, join us for a virtual therapy group & find support in a community where you can experience acceptance & understanding, recognize your value, & learn to trust yourself.
You want things to change and aren’t sure how. You have an inner voice constantly telling you that you’ll never be enough. You have unrealistically high standards for yourself and beat yourself up for not meeting them, for not being perfect. You struggle making decisions because you worry about doing everything perfectly. You feel unworthy, an imposter always doubting yourself. We will pick that apart. We will push back on the guilt and shame cycles. We will work together to recognize your value and live authentically within the reality that creates.
This will be an open group, meaning that there will be space for men to join as we go. Application and interview are required prior to joining. We will begin with grounding, a short teaching and spend the vast majority of the time in process group therapy. This is dynamic, changing and powerful. Those that commit to the work will get the most out of the work.
You are likely seeking relief and clarity to thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that are not working for you. Simply put, something is stuck. I work with people to transform painful and frustrating experiences. For some, this looks like grief work. Others explore relationship struggles. I work with clients to bring awareness to their body, mind, and spirit to assist them in growing a deeper sense of their stories and desires. My ultimate goal is that you will have a growing sense of what it means for you to engage your world with a deepening sense of aliveness.

I often address issues relating to anxiety, depression, self worth and how a physical/mental disability may affect your perception of yourself in the world. I provide a safe, nurturing place to validate your feelings and look at what may/or may not be serving you to be your best self. My commitment is to you, believing in you and working at your pace to ensure a more positive journey in this (often times) challenging world. Another part of my practice is working with folks who are interested in changing their relationship with alcohol or drugs. I am very passionate about this.

My work is trauma informed and helps you tap into your innate ability to heal and be whole. Through co-creating a safe space that honors your infinitely unique selfhood, while emphasizing the importance relationship has in the process of healing. Unfortunately, there is not a one-size-fits all solution to healing any growth. We will explore all of who you are to best guide us through your everyday lived experience. In this we foster a holistic method that focuses on nourishing your mind, body, and soul.
Men healing in a group of men: this may seem contradictory given the wounds that sometimes occur between fathers, sons, brothers. Yet through the sharing of stories with other men we gain perspective, compassion and the insight necessary to move forward in our lives. An outcome of belonging to a men's group is a greater capacity to relate more meaningfully to the men and women in one's life. Men who participate in a men's group often refer to it as one of the most powerful experiences in their lives in terms of growth and effectiveness.
My style and manner are warm, thoughtful, considerate, and engaged. My intention as a therapist is to provide practical, useful, and effective help that you can easily understand and apply. I support and guide efforts toward understanding and reworking internalized family patterns, emotional experience, trauma, and default thinking that impedes life. I work with people seeking greater satisfaction in their relationships, as well as those negotiating loss and change in their lives.

FAQs - About Group Therapy and Support Groups
How can I find a support group in 98112?
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.
