Group Therapy Calendar
“People need people – for initial and continued survival, for socialization, for the pursuit of satisfaction. No one – not the dying, not the outcast, not the mighty – transcends the need for human contact.
Irvin D. Yalom, The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy
We believe strongly in the power of group therapy and have a robust and growing array of group therapy offerings using various evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT) and Harm-Reduction Techniques.
