I am currently only accepting clients that are interested in the collective transformation power of group counseling. I understand that group work can be a bit intimidating but most of our group members have had that fear and once they’ve report that they prefer group over individual psychotherapy. Additionally, research supports that group is as effective if not more effective than individual psychotherapy. My ideal client are those who are seeking to grow through collective work. Individual sessions are made available for group participants as needed.
