Women’s Personal Development Groups

                 Why I Love Womens' Groups

    For more than 35 years, I’ve had the joy and privilege of facilitating women’s groups. In group, I create and foster a safe working space, encourage supportive community among members, and build group cohesion.  

    As a group member, you have a wonderful opportunity to learn more about yourself as you gain support, insight, and perspective from other members. 

    Things often arise in group that don’t surface in individual therapy due of the richness of the group's relational plane.  This is one of the reasons that a group offers a unique space to learn more about yourself and how you relate to others.

    Group often becomes a highly valued space in which to have meaningful conversations that can be missing elsewhere in life.

             Advantages of Being in a Group:

You'll remember that you’re not alone. Most human problems and struggles are universal.  

You’ll be encouraged to give and receive support, encouragement, and perspective. We help ourselves when we help others.

Group becomes a safe place to receive supportive feedback and try on new ways of thinking about things.

You’ll gain deeper awareness of your impact on others.

Group provides you with a place to try out new ways of relating to others.

Group therapy is an effective and affordable form of therapy.  Group sessions are typically 75 minutes.
