Creative Process

Creative Process is a type of experiential therapy, designed with the goal of bringing the subconscious process into the forefront. This healing modality helps to increase insight and awareness of self, reduce stress and vulnerability to uncomfortable emotions and improve self-esteem. We all have a creative part of ourselves, and there is no need to be a "good artist" in order to join the group. The group weaves together a creative art experiential, mindfulness and interpersonal therapy. Process time is non-judgmental, allows for feedback from therapists and peers, and encourages self-reflection. Art supplies are provided.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive behavioral therapy that weaves mindfulness and acceptance into practice. The skills training group teaches behavioral skills to support mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Dialectical is defined as "synthesis" or "integration of opposites." In order to create a healthy life, it is necessary to find the balance between opposing forces, for example: acceptance versus change. In order to change, we first must radically accept the present reality that there is a problem; thus, there are two opposing truths that exist and must be integrated. DBT helps you to become aware of and balance these opposing forces in your life, while also teaching important skills to help you cope when challenges inevitably arise. The group meets twice weekly, and 12-18 months of attendance is recommended to fully master the skills.

Group Process

Our group process offerings are a safe place to experiment with new ways of expressing oneself and connecting with others. The group is unstructured and open in format, meaning there is no agenda and group discussions are not topical in nature. Members will be encouraged to express feelings and thoughts openly. The group space is an opportunity to develop a greater understanding of self, develop healthy interpersonal relationships with others, deepen empathy, increase mindfulness and the ability to just notice while learning how to react effectively. The goal is that each member will be able to apply what they have learned in the process group into their daily lives. Adolescent and adult groups are offered.

Guided Mindfulness

Do you want to dive deeper into your mindfulness practice? Join us for a weekly Guided Mindfulness Group.

This group is suitable for all levels of practice.
