Individual and group therapy for emotional extremists: Do intense emotions interfere with your life? What would you be doing differently if your (emotions, thoughts, anxiety) were not causing problems for you? How can increased connections decrease isolation and depression? With 20+ years of experience, I help people stop blaming their moods and make specific steps to experience their life differently. I focus on helping you act according to your values and develop a collaborative, reality based, practical treatment agenda.
My small groups are intimate, cohesive, and focused on growth. Openness, transparency, being fully present, and the willingness to be vulnerable decreases isolation, depression, and emotional pain. Small groups are a way to “ask your community” about current conflicts/ relationships and to obtain skillful means of facing life while keeping your self respect.
Visit my blog on my best advice on How To Survive Painful Life Situations or practice a mindfulness with me on YouTube: DBT Skills with DrReneeHoekstra. Mindfulness 4 SOAR Skills. Or find my book The Emotional Extremists Guide to Handling Cartoon Elephants on Amazon.

I currently offer three groups, two online and one potentially hybrid/ moving towards meeting in person. Groups are clustered thoughtfully according to demographics and meet both during the day and Tuesday evening times. Pre-screenings are required to help determine if this is the right fit for you. More information about groups is on my website. Reach out to me to see if you might fit into an existing group or get on the wait list for a new one.
