Psychotherapy in Orange County

Many of you have asked me about group therapy and what it’s for. I’m not surprised as most of the therapists do not offer group therapy which happens to be a very challenging task for a therapist to do on weekly basis!

Group therapy represents a real life situation in a small setting. This is not a class and therapy is taking place at each minute you’re participating. Group therapy reveals how we act when in public. How we present ourselves to friends/acquaintances/colleagues, and opposite sex; and how open minded vs. closed minded we are towards change and individual differences. It reveals if you happen to come across as shy, jealous, snobbish, self-assured, sensitive, or insecure etc…within group dynamic. People will make comments and give feed backs about your postures and attitude, thus act as mirrors. It’s up to us to either improve our outside look/behavior or remain the same.

We all wear masks when in public! Rest assures that we’ll never act in such manners when we’re on our own or in familiar settings! Wearing these masks are time consuming and waste of our time and energy and no one ever gets to see who we really are. Don’t you love to feel comfortable in your own skin? Be assertive and secure and act authentically and stay true to yourself?

In group therapy we will realize what stands between us and intimate relationships, be it with our friends and family or our mate or future spouses. In group therapy we’ll learn what we do within a relationship that jeopardizes its success in reaching its full potentials?

In short, relationship group therapy helps you to overcome your insecurities and shine in your relationships by simply being yourself. It’ll improve all your relationships and rewards you with being yourself at any setting!

In groups, we learn how to trust ourselves and others! I keep the group very small (6 people) and the therapy is about 90 minutes. Each session costs $40 which will be paid at the beginning of each session. People in a group have to commit to at least 12 sessions (3 month). I need to interview each member to see if they’re eligible.

On Wednesday 1/ 12/ 2011 @ 6 pm (8 Corporate Park, Suite 300, Irvine, CA, 92606), we’ll meet for the first time so I could explain and demonstrate 15 minutes of group therapy and if you find yourself interested in group therapy you’ll make an appointment for the 15min interview with me (free of charge) for the initial group therapy session the following week. I hope that explains everything. If you have any questions feel free to call me at (949)307-3239 after 5 pm!
