Current Group Offerings
Therapist Support Groups
What is it? Chris regularly leads Therapist Support Groups in the Pasadena area that serve to provide a nurturing and healing space for therapists and other healers. Working in the healing arts can leave us weary, fatigued and burned out. And we often don't take our own advice and make sure we are caring for ourselves. Using a mixture of somatic psychology, mindfulness practice and other alternative healing practices, Chris creates a powerfully supportive and caring atmosphere in which caregivers of all kinds can receive the support and healing they deserve. Who is it for? Therapist Support Groups are intended for anyone in a helping profession including MFT's, LCSW's, psychologists, counselors, body-workers, social workers, doctors, you name it. The only requirement is that you regularly provide care for other people. When does it meet? The groups meet every other week for two hours at various times and days in Pasadena. How much does it cost? Each group runs 10 sessions and a fee of $500 pays for the whole thing. A deposit of $250 holds your spot with the balance due at the first meeting. There are no refunds for missed sessions. Payment plans and a limited sliding scale are available. How do I sign up? The first step is to contact Chris via email or by calling him at 818-568-6982. An interview is required to make sure there is a good fit and to go over group parameters. Groups are starting all the time so if one isn't open when you call, one will open shortly. |
