What is group therapy?

Group therapy is a form of intervention where support and personal growth
happens in a setting with 4-10 peers who are working on similar goals and are led by a mental health clinician. What happens in the group, stays in the group. This important emphasis on confidentiality is what helps to foster trust in the group and a willingness to open up.

Some groups are curriculum based and focus on specific skill development and education. Those typically have a set number of sessions. Other types of groups have no prescribed end date, an group members decompress while navigating the challenges of life in the moment. The sharing of feelings and reactions helps participants to gain insight on their journey towards resilience and gain support from others.

Why go to a Group Therapy Setting?

Participating in group therapy is typically more financially accessible than individual therapy. This valuable tool for addressing mental health concerns empowers your ability to find your solution while developing self-awareness with the support of others who are working towards similar treatment goals.

Those who have participated in group therapy with Dr. Warren-Phillips have reflected that being in a group showed them they are not alone in their struggles, gave them access to others who have been through what they’ve been through, and the others modeled what healing looks like, while giving them the courage to speak truth to their struggles. They gained a better understanding of how to cope and the skills they learned had a direct positive impact on their family life.

anger management, healing from racial trauma, relaxation and wellness skills, and support for first responders.

  • Have you lost your cool one too many times on the job and now your employment is in jeopardy?
  • Are you lashing out on those you care about only to later regret your tone and words?
  • Find yourself in a road rage fit when someone cuts you off?
  • Do you often feel your temper rise at seemingly insignificant inconveniences?

Your temper does not have to get out of control. You can temper your rage and develop the skills to transform those heated emotions so that they do not have a strong hold on you. Transforming Temper is a 10 session program in which participants learn the warning signs of rising levels of anger, develop healthy emotional regulation skills, and hold each other accountable in a supportive online setting.

HEALING FROM RACIAL TRAUMA GROUP 

  • Being a person of color in the United States of America brings about certain challenges, some of which are traumatic.
  • Are you routinely reminded that you are not enough in the eyes of others?

  • Do you have to work twice as hard, just to succeed?

This virtual group is intended for black and brown adults who have been exposed to racial trauma and are seeking an opportunity to heal from those wounds while validated by those who understand. Join the group to learn the tools to need to live a life of intention—even in the midst of an oppressive system. Receive the validation you need to start healing your heart. Facilitated by a person of color, the group provides support, tools for healing, and a safe place to heal from the trauma of racism.

  • Do you struggle with intense feelings of anger, mistrust, or shame due to racism?
  • Are you seeking to collaborate with others who share your pain and can relate?
