Hi Everyone,
I am excited to announce that we are seeking partners and caregivers of people with MS for a psychotherapy group. The group will be led by me, Andrew Rose, a pre-licensed therapist in Portland, and will be conducted virtually. Anyone living in Oregon should inquire. With this first group we want to reach the people who care for their loved ones with MS and help offer those carers an open space to discuss their feelings. The group will focus in particular on helping to enhance participants' self-compassion. Research indicates that self-compassion focused therapy can be very successful in reducing anxiety and improving general quality of life among people with MS and their partners. The group will meet once per week over eight sessions. There will be a nominal fee per session, however we hope to make this group broadly accessible and, because we cannot bill insurance for a group like this, the fee will be reasonable (no more than $20 per session, with limited financial support for those in need). Details regarding when the group will begin are forthcoming as we gather participants. If you are interested and would like further information please send me a direct message, email andrewrichard.rose@gmail or call (503) 893-9943. You are welcome to copy this announcement to other relevant groups.
Thanks!
Andrew
