Group Therapy

New groups will begin in January 2027. Though current offerings are limited, I love running groups. I have previously facilitated chronic pain and meditation groups, and I have long been interested in starting a non-monogomy group. Contact me to express interest in forming a new group. A minimum of 6 members is necessary to get a new group off the ground.

Current Offerings

Currently enrolling:

  • ADHD / AuDHD Community Group, In Person, Framingham, MA, early 2027

Many of ADHD clients have expressed their frustration with lack of opportunities to connect in person with other adults who grew up high-masking, undiagnosed, untreated, or under-treated. The goal of this group will be to give people the opportunity to come together to share their experiences, feelings, strengths, and challenges. The group will focus on the thoughts, emotions, goals, and questions members bring to the group. Though I will provide in psychoeducation and facilitate discussions, the group will offer an opportunity to build community and learn from one another. That means the group will be what the members make of it and what they need it be. The group will meet Thursday evenings from 6:30-8pm at my office at 12 Library Street, Framingham beginning in early 2027 for 12 weeks. (Exact date TBD) The group will be closed to new member until after then end of the first 12 week session, and membership will be limited.

Community groups are not covered by insurance. Cost TBD. Limited sliding scale available.

Why Group Therapy?

Irvin Yalom, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and author, argued that in group therapy “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.”

Some benefits of group therapy include: 

  • Interpersonal learning: People can learn from each other's stories. 

  • New perspective: Group therapy can help people see their situation from a new perspective. 

  • Sense of belonging: Group members can feel a sense of acceptance, value, and belonging. 

  • Social skills: Group therapy can help people with social anxiety or loneliness. 

  • Confidence: Group therapy can help people gain confidence. 

  • Stress release: Group therapy can provide a place to vent about stress.
