Group Services
In addition to "traditional" psychotherapy services, I also offer group psychotherapy services as well. Group therapy services may be a helpful form of treatment when there are several individuals who share the same, perhaps shorter-term, therapeutic objective. In some cases the shared "symptoms" of the individuals in the group are acute in nature; such as grief in reaction to the loss of a loved one, learning to manage angry feelings in a healthy manner, or building social/interpersonal skills. Other times, group services may serve as an enhancement to one's previously established individual therapy.

The following is a list of group therapy services for Children and Adolescents that I offer:

The following is a list of group therapy services for Adults that I offer:
- Anger Management
- This is a 10 week group offered to adults who demonstrate difficulty in managing their angry feelings. The purpose of this group is to assist the individual in understanding the nature of their anger and learning skills to help manage their angry feelings and associated behaviors.
- PLEASE NOTE: If the individual presents having a history of engaging in violent actions against other people, a different course of treatment may be indicated.
- Each prospective group member must complete an individual assessment prior to recommendation for the group. I retain the right to determine if this group is an appropriate referral for prospective members (see above). In some cases, more intensive treatment may be indicated, such as individual psychotherapy prior to referral to the group; or individual psychotherapy as a corollary to one's previously established individual treatment.
- A certificate of completion will be issued to all members who participate in all 10 group sessions; these certificates may be submitted to court, Social Services, probation, or parole as proof of completion.
- Time/Dates of group TBA, however, typically this group will have four sections offered per year: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer

- Individuals who are participating in this group must also attend individual psychotherapy sessions at regularly scheduled intervals throughout the course of their group treatment.
- A certificate of completion will be issued to all members who participate in all 26 weekly group sessions; these certificates may be submitted to court, Social Services, Probation, or Parole as proof of completion.
