"What is most personal is most universal."
-Carl Rogers
Psychodynamic group psychotherapy offers clients a unique therapeutic ecosystem that is a potent force for healing, growth, and change. For many clients entering therapy, it is a normative experience for one to distrust the unconditional positive regard a therapist can have for their client. This also leads to doubts that a trained therapist, or anyone for that matter, could ever relate to a client’s pain, shame, or pathology. This is what makes group therapy so powerful. It is the only modality that gives fellow clients the opportunity to be agents of change for one another by offering empathic connections, candid feedback, and opportunity for reparative experiences.
Our groups are designed to empower clients who desire healthier and more fulfilling relationships with their spouse, partner, family, children, colleagues, and community. Participants are invited to engage the psychodynamic concept of how the past tends to live on in the present by exploring early formational narratives and the impact these stories have had on one’s style of relating (relationship to themselves and others), emotional capacity, and understanding of physical and psychological needs.
