Group therapy offers a supportive setting to learn skills, share experiences, and practice new ways of coping. At Axis, groups are evidence-based, led by experienced clinicians, and designed to combine peer connection with proven strategies for change.
My Specialities
I specialize in running structured, skills-based groups and process groups for adults dealing with anxiety, rumination, emotion dysregulation, trauma recovery, sleep problems, and interpersonal challenges.
This includes FAP-informed process groups, which focus on understanding relational patterns in real time and practicing new ways of connecting within a supportive group setting.
Groups at Axis offer a focused environment where members learn together, build skills, and support one another’s growth — using approaches backed by strong research.
What to Expect
Groups typically run weekly for a set number of weeks and include structured lessons, guided practice, and group discussion.
We match you with a group that aligns with your goals and needs.
Sessions combine structured guidance, skill practice, and group discussion.
You’ll try strategies in daily life and bring reflections back to the group.
We track what’s working, adjust focus, and strengthen changes that last.
Sessions are active and collaborative — you won’t just talk about problems, you’ll work on solutions and strategies you can use in daily life.
