Group Therapy
The rare power of being witnessed in community.
Group therapy does something individual therapy can't: it lets you be seen and understood by people who are navigating a similar journey. The shame loosens. The isolation breaks. And what you learn about yourself, in relationship to others in the room, can shift things that years of solo work hasn't.
I am a Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP) and run ongoing, small, carefully composed groups.
How groups here work.
- Small groups (typically 6–10 members)
- Weekly meetings, ongoing rather than time-limited
- Members are assessed individually for fit and timing
- Held in person at the West Hollywood office or virtually depending on the group
- Can be combined with individual therapy. Many members do both.
Currently running.

How the work goes
What therapy actually looks like here.
The groups are relational and process-oriented. That means: rather than a curriculum, we work with what's actually happening in the room: the connections, the feedback, the patterns members notice in each other. It's powerful work, and the consistency of the same group over time is part of what makes it transformative.
