There is no formal structure to each session. The group flows based on what emerges in the moment, with a focus on the here-and-now dynamics. The aim is to create a space for members to explore emotions, relationships, and patterns of behavior in a supportive, authentic environment.

Sessions may center on personal issues, group interaction patterns, or the emotional climate of the group. The focus is on interpersonal dynamics—how we relate to each other and what behaviors or emotions surface.

Members are encouraged to offer feedback, share observations, and reflect on their own behavior within the group. This feedback helps increase self-awareness and highlights how interpersonal patterns in the group may reflect real-life relationships.

Much of the work comes from being present with one another and recognizing how group interactions connect to real-world dynamics.

Logistical Details:

• Group Duration: Meetings last between 45-75 minutes, depending on the number of members present.

• Group Size: Typically, groups have between 6-12 participants.

• Meeting Frequency: Groups meet weekly, with a break only for holidays. You can expect around 48 sessions per year.

• Cost: The fee is $100 per session. Once you join a group, you’ll pay for each session, regardless of attendance (e.g., if you're absent due to vacation, illness, work, etc.).

Once you join a group, you’re making a commitment to be an active member, and ideally, you’ll attend regularly each week. These groups are not meant to be 'drop-in' sessions; instead, they’re designed to be a space where you can be known, explore deeper issues, and build meaningful relationships over time. When people join, they often think of it as a longer-term commitment, different from individual therapy. It typically takes about 3-6 months to start feeling comfortable in the group, and around 6-9 months to really start participating and engaging fully (though everyone’s pace is unique). Many participants find that being part of the group significantly improves their lives and communication skills, and they often stay in the group for extended periods—some groups have been running for over 6 years.

Sarah: "I’ve been feeling really frustrated with my friend. She’s always late when we make plans, and it’s starting to annoy me. I don’t know how to bring it up without making her mad."

John: "I’m noticing that when you talk about your friend, you seem a little uncomfortable. You’re looking down and speaking quietly—almost like you’re holding something back. It makes me wonder if you’re also feeling unsure about speaking up in the group."

Sarah: "I hadn’t noticed that. I guess I do feel nervous about bringing up difficult stuff, not just with my friend but here too."

Group Member: "I can relate to that. I find it hard to set boundaries, especially with people I care about. It’s like I want to avoid conflict, even though I know it’s necessary."

Sarah: "That makes sense. Maybe it’s not just my friend I need to be more direct with, but also in situations like this, where I’m holding back."

Steps to Joining a Group:

1. Schedule a Call:
   Reach out to schedule a brief 10-minute call with Jeff or Megan. During this call, we’ll answer any questions you have about the group and help you determine if it’s the right fit.

2. Intake Session:
   After the call, we’ll schedule an intake session with Jeff and/or Megan. This is a chance for us to get to know each other, discuss your goals, and determine which group would be the best fit for you.

3. Commit & Start:
   Once you've selected a group, we’ll confirm your start date and ensure you're fully ready to begin your group journey.
