Group Counseling

Has it ever been difficult to feel comfortable socially or to find your people? Maybe it’s been hard to manage relationships or to feel understood. One way to learn about ourselves and our relationships is to reflect with others. Through this group students who have similar social and personal concerns help each other to explore and strengthen interpersonal skills.

Have you ever experienced overwhelm related to your overall mental health? Do you have concerns regarding the intensity of your moods or worry your difficulties get in the way of your performance as a student, friend, or community member? Through the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) group members build evidence-based strategies to manage difficult emotions associated with mood and behavior concerns.

Do you have concerns about your family relationships? Are you unsure of how to navigate familial dynamics, communication, and boundaries in your family of origin or chosen family?

Do you identify as a graduate student with concerns related to culture, identity, and/or international student experiences? Managing life challenges, identity, culture, and academics is an intersectional experience.

Group members also decompress through creating mosaics.

Curious about what a trauma bond is or why your body hangs onto patterns that don’t serve you anymore? This group breaks down how different types of stress and trauma, from toxic relationships to sudden shocks, actually rewire your mind and nervous system. Without putting you on the spot to share personal stories, we’ll demystify survival responses so you can drop the self-blame. Join us to make sense of what you or others have been through and build a practical roadmap to get your peace back.
