Group Therapy

Trauma Support

Trauma support groups provide a safe place for trauma survivors to process and express the feelings associated with their situation. Trauma group therapy is an intensive process where success relies on the commitment of both the participant and the counselor. The counselor may suggest additional treatments if warranted, such as individual counseling. Trauma processing is also a psychoeducational learning experience, as group members learn skills to help manage distress and crisis emotions.

Adolescent Groups

Dr. Ford is happy to announce the addition of Adolescent Skills & Processing Groups. The purpose of these groups are to assist pre-teens and teenagers how to better manage life stressors--such as parents, school, bullies, self-esteem, reduce risk-taking behaviors, build confidence, reduce problem behaviors, and address concerns presented by parents and/or school teachers. Groups are organized based on need, space, and topic.

DBT Skills Group

Dr. Ford is PASSIONATE about DBT! Dr. Ford developed core curriculum for DBT skills groups in outpatient and inpatient settings for a variety of clientele. DBT is an engaging and dynamic group where participants will gain useable skills in four key areas: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. The Skills group is approximately 12-14 weeks long, and participant adherence is vital for gaining the most from this group. DBT groups are provided to adolescents and adults.

Domestic Violence Survivors

Survivor groups are intended to provide immediate support for trauma sustained. These groups are considered safe havens for survivors, where participation is confidential and discreet.

More groups will be added as need arise. We are considering developing Anger Management groups for adolescents and adults. Please use the Contact Form to inquire about Group Therapy services and fees associated.
