Groups

I have facilitated numerous psychotherapy and training groups, as well as taught group therapy and dynamics, in the U.S. and abroad. In addition to the groups I offer in my private practice (below) I also facilitate process-oriented training group for analytic candidates at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago and for mid-career group therapists for the American Group Psychotherapy Association.

Process-Oriented Training Group for Clinicians (online)

Process-Oriented Training Group for Asian and Asian American Clinicians (online)

These may be for you if you resonate with any of these goals: to have a space in which you can be emotionally held by the group and the facilitator, even as you are in the profession of holding space for others; to develop connections with other clinicians in what can be a lonely profession; to deepen self awareness as well as awareness of interpersonal and group-level dynamics; to explore the practice and integration of psychodynamic, IFS, 12-steps, improvisational, and clowning principles in clinical practice; to expand your capacities to navigate the complexities of group leadership as well as your confidence in taking up such a role; to uncover, explore, and work through your unconscious templates for leadership and authority; to earn a CGP credential. 1-3 screening/assessment/orientation sessions required. Group experience not required. For online groups, an annual in-person retreat is required.

Current Therapy Group

Playing In Practice: All-Gender Therapy Group

Every other Monday 2:25-3:15 pm (in-person)

This trauma-informed therapy group integrates improvisation and clowning with process-oriented group psychotherapy to deepen group members’ capacity to play, to be present, and to connect to themselves and to one another. Every group session begins with one improvisational, clowning, or other meditative exercise designed to heighten awareness, facilitate group development, and deepen exploration of current goals. Members will have the remainder of the group session to examine their emotions, roles, and relationship patterns as they occur here-and-now.

$50 per group
