Group Therapy

**CURRENTLY ALL GROUPS MEET VIRTUALLY**

Womxn’s Process Group

$80/75-minute session- Mondays 5:30 pm-6:45 pm (Virtual)

Similar to our Relationships Process Group, this is an interpersonal process group allows a space for members to address concerns they have in their relationship with self (e.g. self-worth, self-esteem, shame, etc.) and their relationships with others. However, this group offers a safe space for those identifying as women. We use an inclusive definition of “woman” and “female” and welcome those who identify as women in a way that is meaningful for them (e.g. cis women, trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people who are significantly female identified, and those negatively impacted and harmed by the patriarchy).

If you’ve ever wondered how other people perceive you, how your personality “comes off” to others, wanted deeper connection in your friendships and romantic relationships, or wanted to feel more confident about yourself, this group could benefit you. Research has shown that interpersonal process group therapy is an effective treatment for depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

In this group you will hear other people’s stories, noticing that you are not alone in your experiences. Group therapy offers support and normalization of common worries we have. Process group therapy also provides feedback, wisdom, and problem-solving opportunities with the other members of the group.

Group members will be asked to commit to 10 weeks of group. At the end of each 10-week interval, members have the option of continuing in group.

Binge Eating Therapy Group

$80/ 75-minute session- Wednesdays 5:30 pm-6:45 pm (Virtual)

The Binge-Eating Process group is an interpersonal process group specifically for people in recovery from binge-eating, including Binge Eating Disorder, binge eating, and compulsive eating, emotional eating, overeating, and feeling stuck in the restriction/diet-overeating/binge eating cycle. The group is designed to offer support to members by sharing insights and problem-solving strategies, normalizing concerns, and creating camaraderie in the recovery process. Members in all stages of recovery are welcome!

Common topics that may come up in this group include:

• Exploring what keeps you stuck in your binge eating disorder
• Examining the underlying cause and function of your eating disorder behaviors
• Discussing body image concerns in cultural context
• Improving body image and self-care
• Processing shame/guilt with regard to binge eating
• Identifying eating disorder thoughts versus your own thoughts

All of our groups are informed by a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach. HAES is an evidence-based perspective that is weight-inclusive and social justice oriented, which has been shown to be effective in the treatment of concerns related to food and body.

Whether you are just beginning your work in therapy or you are stepping down from a higher level of care, this group will offer you insight, support, and honest feedback to facilitate your recovery.

This is a minimally-structured group that allows group members an opportunity to “check in” about their progress and struggles in recovery. The majority of the time in group is unstructured, enabling the group to determine what they would like to work on.

Group members will be asked to commit to 10 weeks of group. At the end of each 10-week interval, members have the option of continuing in group. If you would like support in your recovery, encouragement, hope and wisdom, this group is for you!
