The process and preparation in becoming a therapist can be both exciting and arduous. It's a long road from grad school to licensure, and along the way a myriad of emotions and concerns can emerge. This is a safe space to experience group process and self-discovery with clinical support. Some concerns addressed include: pressures of grad school; working in stressful situations; managing countertransference; navigating complex cases; clinical supervision issues; test anxiety for board exams. Groups are via Zoom on either Wednesdays or Fridays, and all trainees and associates based in California or Utah are welcome to join.

Teen Talk is a therapy group to help teens who are feeling sad, withdrawn, anxious, stressed, experiencing academic problems, are dealing with life changes like a new school or divorce, or struggling with risky behaviors like drinking, drugs, and self-harm. Loneliness, isolation, hopelessness, or feeling misunderstood can lead to unhealthy or unsafe choices. This is a supportive space for teens to explore stressors, emotions, identity, and relationships in a safe and welcoming environment. We address: depression symptoms; social media stressors; conflicts with friends; peer pressure; family and relationship issues; school and college anxiety?; bullying; grief and loss; ADHD; perfectionism.
