Social Therapy is a powerful group therapy that has helped thousands of people transform their lives; creating new possibilities for themselves, their families and their communities.We all face difficult or painful life situations in which “knowing what’s wrong” isn’t enough. Perhaps this is one of those moments for you or your family. Maybe there’s nothing “wrong,” but you feel that more is possible — in your work, in your relationships, in your life. Our work together in Social Therapy can help you meet these challenges by helping you to grow emotionally. We can help you create the life you want to live.

 

We Provide Training and Consulting to Numerous Health Care, Business and Organization Settings.

​Why consider group therapy?

 

We live our lives in groups – whether it is with family, friends, co-workers, life-partner or spouse. Whe we are disconnected from groups, we can feel a deep longing to to be part of something. When we go through emotional issues or pain, the relationship we have can become disconnected and create more emotional pain and alienation. Group therapy is a fantastic environment where you can develop your capacity to interaction, connect, learn, work, play and give to others.

​What does group therapy offer? 

 

The group experience offers people an opportunity to work as a team with others to learn new skills that will help to live life much more fully.  The group creates a richer environment to develop our ability to connect, interact, learn to listen, and give thereby creating a richer environment for people to develop and evolve into who they can become.

​How does group therapy work?

 

As the group grows, the individual grows. We come away with a deeper awareness of self and others, or who we are in relationship to others, what our strengths and challenges are. You have an opportunity to try out new emotional responses, learn to see from multiple perspectives, create new ways to communicate and be close to others, and find ways to deal productively with very intense emotions. You develop emotional strengths and improve skills to build healthy relationships.  We can learn to be leaders in creating the very environment needed to grow and develop, and to actively build supportive environments in their everyday lives.

 

Many people who have experienced our group therapy talk about it as having had a profound impact on their emotional pain, making it possible to live richer and more fulfilling lives.

Depression

 

Depression has become a significant cultural fact in our society. People have found group therapy to be enormously helpful in renewing connection to life and to a sense of purposefulness. The alienation that we experience in our relationships is

by the intimacy of the group setting, giving you an opportunity to create new meaning in your life.

 

 

 

 

GLBT Issues

 

There is enormous value being in a diverse, heterogeneous group. There you can find support to be more powerful as gay, lesbian, or bisexual or transsexual. Groups can be instrumental in providing a safe, nurturing environment to grow and develop.

 

 

 

Recovery

 

Once you have made the important life decisions to eliminate destructive behavior, such as the destructive effects of drugs or alcohol, what do you do to grow? We offer group experiences that support you to learn more about your relationship to others, growing in your capacity for more intimate involvement with others, and develop experiences that support personal, emotional, and spiritual growth.

 

 

 

 

Anxiety and Panic

 

Many people have found group therapy helpful to break out of the sense of intense isolation that accompanies and generates a feeling of panic. We can help you to relate to the normal experiences of anxiety and gain control of your emotional response. We help people to learn that emotion is something that you do rather than something that happens to you, allowing you to choose new performances.

 

 

 

 

Intimacy

 

Many people grow up in environments that deprive them from experiencing closeness with others. It becomes increasing more difficult to create intimacy within important relationships. Group is an environment where intimacyis the activity, where you learn to support and are supported by others in the process of building the group.
