MIXED GENDER THERAPY GROUP
This is a weekly, ongoing therapy group for adults. The group welcomes all genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, cultures, faiths, abilities, lifestyles and sizes.
Why group therapy?
Therapy groups are powerful catalysts for insight and growth, sometimes even more so than the traditional 1:1 therapy dyad. During sessions the group works to put their thoughts and feelings into words, sharing as vulnerably and honestly as possible. Participating in both a supportive and brave space, group members have a unique opportunity to better understand themselves, their relational patterns, better understand others, as well as experiment with new ways of relating. This process allows for deep personal examination and shifting of relational patterns that can be blocking one’s progress in developing healthy and more satisfying relationships. Group therapy also presents a unique experience to get support and feedback from a diverse collective of people.
This group Could be a fit for you if:
You struggle with loneliness
You feel stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns or have difficulty creating or sustaining relationships
You want to learn more about yourself and get feedback about how you come across
You want to practice sharing your emotions and being vulnerable with others
You have difficulty asserting your needs and boundaries
You struggle with responding in the face of other’s emotions
You are currently in individual therapy (or have been in some amount of therapy in the past) and want a different therapeutic space/experience to practice what you are learning
*Many people simultaneously participate in both individual and group therapy and find the combination very beneficial.

about
Jessica Brown (she/her/hers), LMFT
Groups are powerful. My experience as a participant in groups has inspired my passion for leading groups. I first received training as a group facilitator at the Integral Counseling Center at Pierce Street as well as during my internship at Access Institute where I completed a 2-year psychoanalytic training fellowship. As a member of the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA) and as a graduate of the Group Psychotherapy Training Program at The Psychotherapy Institute I have received specialized training in leading groups. Prior to my work as a therapist, I led corporate and executive team workshops and many personal growth programs. In addition to leading groups, I work with individual adults and couples in my private practice.
