Psychotherapy Groups
Please note: Currently I do not have any group openings!
Group process is an extraordinarily enriching way to experience oneself and others. It is a very effective way to grow and to develop one's social skills. It complements and enhances the individual psychotherapeutic process. Groups are also a more economic alternative to individual psychotherapy. Each group has its own character and life-cycle. At the beginning, it is the leader's task to integrate all members. My approach is process-oriented, and I try to facilitate the dynamic balance between the group's tasks, the needs of the individual members, and the interactions that establish a group cohesiveness. The participation in such a group-process is an intensive learning experience that is transformative for all members.
I have led various types of groups over the years, and I studied group psychotherapy in Europe with well known therapists such as Ruth Cohn, Elisabeth Tomalin, and here in California with Ron Kurtz and Jim Bugenthal.
Please check the "Announcements" section for information about current group openings. I ask newcomers that they first meet with me for an individual session. Groups have generally between 3 and 8 participants, and the fee is $40 per person. If you are interested in joining, please contact me for an initial interview at 510-986-9800.
