“Groups run by and for women are our psychic turf; our place to discover who we are, or who we could become, as whole independent human beings. Somewhere in our lives, each of us needs a free place. Do you have yours?”

“Members of a cohesive group feel warmth and comfort in the group and a sense of belongingness; they value the group and feel in turn that they are valued, accepted, and supported by other members.”

Group members have good self-awareness & insight and are supportive of each other. As members learn more about themselves, the group as a whole transforms, and members become agents of change for each other. Group becomes a valued touchstone and space for self-growth.

Private Practice can be isolating; it's important to build connections with other clinicians, and it's good professional self-care to have a safe place to discuss our work. As a clinician who has been practicing for 35 years, I’m excited to announce a re-booting of my consultation group -virtual this time- for licensed clinicians.

Group is a powerful modality for consultation – things often come up group that don’t come up in individual consultation. As a long-time psychodynamic clinician, and Certified Group Psychotherapist (CPG), I create and foster a safe container and encourage working community within the group.

Themes are decided collectively and may include: the therapeutic alliance, self-disclosure/boundaries, case material, transference and countertransference, cultural/diversity awareness, professional development, ethics, etc. Consultees will be encouraged to share their work – and feelings about it –and respond to each other in a non-critical manner. Business aspects of practice are also discussed as the need arises.

Consultees/members make a commitment to six monthly sessions, with an option to renew after the first six months.

If you’d like more info, or to set up a no-charge 30 minute mutual interview, feel free to contact me.
