Groups
Interpersonal Process Group
This is a 16 week group that includes feedback. Some relationship goals include but are not limited to: Improving trust, nurturing curiosity, openness and patience; safely expressing and experiencing feelings; communicating wants/needs while also taking responsibility for them; altering habitual, unhelpful reactions; tolerating direct feedback; setting, adjusting and maintaining boundaries, and co-creating close and meaningful relationships. Our group is an "interpersonal laboratory" where clients can safely practice assertive communication skills, learn to experience the triumphs and challenges of intimacy, change problematic pattens and come to develop courage and resiliency to navigate life.
