Group Therapy
Co-Lead by Michelle Bohls, LMFT
& Dave Kapolwitz, filmmaker, musician, and counseling intern
Group therapy gives people a chance to talk about their thoughts, feelings and impulses while they explore what happens in their relationships with others. This safe place allows for greater understanding of the dynamics in your life and relationships outside of the group.
The commitment is to attend every week and to pay for the month,
regardless of actual attendance. Commitment is for the month with a
separate agreement made to give the other group members two weeks
notice to process your decision to leave group.
Contact Michelle @ 577-3371 or e-mail mbohls@austin.rr.com to explore if group therapy is appropriate for you.
(We suggest several meetings with the group leaders before beginning group.)
What is a Process Group?
All groups utilize the power of the group, as
well as the therapist, or therapists who lead it. And all therapy
groups exist to help individuals grow emotionally. Unlike the simple
two-person relationship between patient and therapist in individual
therapy, group therapy offers multiple relationships to assist the
individual in growth and problem solving.
However, Process Groups use
the group context and group processes explicitly as a mechanism of
change by developing, exploring and examining interpersonal
relationships within the group, using the process in the moment for
greater self understanding.
Please note that individuals that are
suicidal, homicidal, psychotic, new in recovery or in the midst of a major life crisis
are not typically placed in group therapy until their behavior and
emotional states have stabilized.
