Group Therapy
Group therapy can be a more affordable way to engage in therapy, or a great supplement to individual therapy. Not only do you get advice, feedback, and guidance from a trained therapist, but also a wealth of experience and knowledge from other group members, in addition to potential new supports and friendships. I love conducting group therapy with the amazing energy in the room and everything that I learn from the participants as well. I am constantly updating and adapting my manuals, not only based on new science, but also with new examples and information I learn from my amazing clients (in a confidential manner, of course). Please inquire as to group start dates. Groups range from 5 to 9 participants, depending upon enrollment.
Hypersexuality/Sexual Addiction/Sexual Compulsivity
I provide group therapy for hypersexuality, with a specific focus on pornography “addiction”, though individuals with other types of “sex addiction”, including infidelity and multiple partners are welcome. This group is currently only offered for men. All sexual orientations are welcome and examples and curriculum incorporate relevant examples for gay, bi, and straight men.
Pain During Intercourse/Vulvodynia
I provide group therapy for women with pain during intercourse, specifically vulvar pain. This therapy is a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness. We work on better understanding your pain and developing strategies to manage the pain, enhancing the sexual experience
Healthy Relationships
I provide group therapy for young adults on healthy relationship functioning. This group is open to all genders and sexual orientations. We focus on how to cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself, through better understanding your needs, boundary setting, and building self-esteem. We also work on how to choose great partners, and how to maintain healthy and secure relationships once you have them. The focus of the group is for singles and those in new relationships (< 18 months), but those in longer term relationships looking to build skills or better understand their choices are also welcome!
