Group Counseling for Adults

Getting you out of pain and on to greater health and healing.

We provide various groups that are experiential, educational, therapeutic, and supportive.

Groups provide a safe place for people to come together with others who each have a similar experience or issue. When we connect and lean on each other for support together as a group, we suddenly become stronger, smarter, more courageous, and wiser. This also happens when we share resources, experience, hope, and empathy with and toward each other. These are some of the superpowers of a group. When we share ourselves with others, we are not alone. As we allow people in and invite them to know us even in the midst of our struggles with pain and illness, we allow ourselves to be heard, connected, and cared about.

Current Group

Living a Full Life with Chronic Illness and/or Chronic Pain

An educational, experiential, skills-building, and supportive group for those who are challenged with chronic illness and/or chronic pain will help guide you to:

  • Learn and practice pain management techniques, including mindfulness, meditation, and visualization
  • Develop a personally tailored coping skills plan that is effective at helping reduce your stress & pain
  • Expand your understanding of your mind and body’s connection
  • Know that you are not alone and there are others who understand and get it
  • Experience, practice, and implement new behaviors and skills helping you to change your pain and illness experiences
  • Understand how pain pathways communicate and begin implementing ways that you can alter your pain
  • Cultivate a new relationship with your body, pain, and/or illness

This ongoing, supportive, and weekly group for people with chronic illness provides:

  • A safe and supportive environment that honors your experience, supports your courage and provides understanding and compassion.
  • An opportunity to share your experiences, challenges, and coping strategies with all members who are there with you in the journey of creating a full life, even with chronic pain and/or illness.

If you are interested in joining the Living a Full Life Group, your first step is to contact us so we can schedule an intake assessment appointment before you start attending group.

You owe it to yourself to connect with others who get it and are also working toward living their life with greater joy amidst their pain and illness. You can, too. I welcome you to begin to make it happen for you.

You don’t need to suffer or be alone in your pain.

Ready to create a life full of health, hope, and happiness?

You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero

  A book recommendation from therapist Megan Kolecke LCPC This is your “get out of a rut free” card! It is an easy and inviting read to spark your brain into action. Jen’s spicy humor is a great tool to gain perspective regarding ourselves and our environment – how those perspectives often get twisted and how to challenge those negative thoughts. If there’s one takeaway from the book, it’s that the caliber of positive energy we send out is what we can expect to get back in return. Sit back and take in this fun read; Jen has been there, done that, and will take you through her learning process with some motivation and butt-kicking thrown in.

How COVID-19 May Be Impacting Depression and Anxiety in Your Teen

  Adolescence is a plethora of changes, trials, and moments of growth. We are influenced by our peers, family, and social media, as we attempt to discover more about who we are, what we want, and what we will become. These questions are hard enough by themselves, but, as many teens are unfortunately discovering, their difficulty can increase ten-fold in the midst of a universal pandemic. Your teen was likely pulled out of public school in lieu of a quarantined, online classroom in late March. Everyday activities like going to the movies or hanging out with friends became dangerous, even lethal. A dependence on electronics became greater than ever seen before, as, for many still, the internet is their strongest tie to the social world. Email, FaceBook, or Twitter are the means by which you and your child learned of increasing cases, increasing hazards, and increasingly cancelled activities. With all these cancellations naturally come feelings of disappointment and grief. Further tha...
