Relational Psychotherapy Group
Relational Psychotherapy Group
This group offers adults a safe, supportive environment to foster emotional capacity and relational growth. Rather than focusing on teaching skills, the group facilitates new experiences—helping participants explore trust, authenticity, and self-worth through meaningful connection with others.
Group Structure
This is a 20-week, closed psychotherapy group. We meet weekly, online, in a small group of approximately 6–8 participants. Before joining, each participant completes an assessment and preparation sessions to ensure a good fit and group readiness.
Who May Benefit
This group is ideal for individuals who are functioning well in daily life, are reflective, and are open to relational and emotional growth. Whether you’ve experienced relational wounds, difficult patterns, or simply want to deepen your connections, this group helps you expand your capacity for trust, vulnerability, and authenticity.
What Participants Can Expect
This is a relational and experiential psychotherapy group rather than a psychoeducational or skills-based program. While reflection and insight are important aspects of the work, the group emphasizes emotional and relational growth through authentic engagement with others.
Over time, emotional responses, interpersonal patterns, protective strategies, and ways of relating may emerge naturally within the group environment. Participants are encouraged to engage authentically, reflect on their experiences, receive and offer thoughtful feedback, and gradually experiment with new ways of relating.
The group may involve moments of emotional discomfort, vulnerability, uncertainty, or interpersonal challenge. These experiences are approached thoughtfully and respectfully as opportunities for growth, increased capacity, and relational development.
The goal is not perfection or constant emotional comfort. The goal is increased emotional flexibility, authenticity, trust, self-compassion, relational capacity, and greater freedom in how one experiences oneself and others.
Assessment & Enrollment Process
The process begins with an inquiry form. Based on your responses, if it seems like a potential fit, we’ll invite you to 1–3 individual assessment sessions, each $175. If at any point we determine the group isn’t the best fit, we’ll discuss alternative recommendations. If accepted, you’ll complete preparation sessions before the group starts. Once the group begins, attendance is essential, and the full fee is expected. If you’ve prepaid and withdraw early, future sessions may be refunded at the standard rate, minus a $50 administrative fee.

For Referring Clinicians
This group is intended for adults who are generally functioning well in daily life and possess sufficient emotional stability and reflective capacity to participate safely in a relational psychotherapy environment.
Participants may benefit from concurrent individual therapy, though this is not required. Individuals without an existing therapist may discuss available options during the assessment process.
The group is not intended as a crisis stabilization program or a substitute for higher levels of care. Careful screening, assessment, and preparation are completed prior to admission in order to support appropriateness of fit, emotional safety, and group cohesion.
