Therapeutic Group Consultation: New offering

Therapeutic Group Consultation (TGC) is for therapists who want to explore their personhood through their clinical work. Traditional group consultation typically consists of case presentations and a discussion of diagnoses followed by suggestions for interventions and treatments. TGC offers a safe group environment for therapists to talk about how they feel in session and explore their anxiety and avoidance with clients. As a result, therapists advance not only their clinical skills but also their understanding of themselves. In TGC, “the therapist, as an individual, is a major focus.”

(Raubolt & Brink, 2021)

Therapeutic Group Consultation is for the therapist who:

  • Is willing to be vulnerable and take risks in the consultation room.

  • Wants to get more comfortable practicing experientially.

  • Seeks a community of therapists committed to challenging and supporting one another.

TGC is a model created by Richard Raubolt, PhD and Krik Brink, PhD. Learn more about their approach at https://www.therapeuticgroupconsultation.com/about. 

My groups will be based on the concepts and philosophy set out in Raubolt and Brink’s book, Opening Hearts Opening Minds: Therapeutic Group Consultation.

TGC groups are offered both in person and virtually.

Psychotherapy: My approach

First off, you lay out your concerns.  In the initial stage of therapy, we will look  closely and with a lot of compassion at what happened for you as a child.  We will explore how adults around you behaved and how feelings were dealt with in your family and what you got and didn't get.  Through this compassionate inquiry, we will discover your implicit learnings, consider how they served you in the past, and notice how they impact you now.  Moments of insight, pain, and release will happen. Deep lasting change happens in the accumulation of these moments.  It takes time and sometimes you feel worse before you feel better. I am with you every step of the way. 

I am currently meeting with people in person and virtually.  At this time, I do not have availability for new clients but you may email me to inquire about being added to my waitlist.

I accept Medicare, many commercial insurances, and private pay.
