Group Therapy
Looking to decrease self-doubt, better understand and express your emotions, develop greater self-acceptance, or get support with relationship difficulties? In this weekly group for adults, group members discuss their own experiences, receive support, and also have an opportunity to receive honest (but gentle) feedback from each other. Often times, feedback from group members and opening up in group provides powerful insight and support that helps individuals move forward in ways that individual therapy alone has not.
Facilitated by Mayer Solomon, LCSW-C, an experienced group therapist. The group will meet weekly in Mt Washington, Baltimore. Group therapy is generally an insurance reimbursable service; details here on questions to ask your insurance company to assess your reimbursement level. Limited spots available.
Give us a call, or contact us for more information or to find out about joining. Before joining the group, we'll set up an initial individual session to discuss your goals and if the group would be a good fit for you.

Why Group Therapy?
1. Groups enable the members to see how others respond to them.
2. Groups afford members diverse views of their behavior. There is not just one person responding to the client or observing him or her in a particular way, but many. Hearing multiple viewpoints, gives group members the opportunity to develop better understanding, and provides real-time opportunities to practice having and honoring varying viewpoints.
4. Group affords the opportunity for on-the-spot self-awareness. Members discover not only how they look or come across to others, but also what they are feeling when dealing with people. Group offers opportunities to practice in-the-moment emotional awareness by putting thoughts, feelings and urges into words instead of acting them out.
5. Groups afford the chance to practice new behavior. Members can rehearse dealing with various life situations in the outside world and learn how they come across to others when they do behave in new ways.
6. Groups permit reciprocal exchange. Self-esteem can be diminished when one is exclusively on the receiving end of help. In group one receives support and is also able to provide support to others. Often group members recognize they have more to offer then they realize, leading to a greater sense of self-worth.
