Group Therapy

Individual & Group Therapy
Mendocino Michael Meade Event

I have desired to go

Where springs not fail,

To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail

And a few lilies blow.

And I have asked to be

Where no storms come,

Where the green swell is in the havens dumb,

And out of the swing of the sea.

-Gerard Manley Hopkins

Mens Problem Solving & Support Group – Now Running

If you have been seeking a mens group to gain support, share deeply, or ask deep questions about life, you have come to the right place.  This is a small intimate group that is about men helping men.  Please see below for more details and to schedule a connection call with me.

More about groups:

Humans are relational beings.  We thrive in community, and suffer in isolation. Group therapy provides a powerful, unique and comprehensive approach to healing and wellness, acknowledging that our well-being encompasses more than just our mental health. By bringing conscious awareness to and integrating various aspects of our being, including emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions, we can embark on a journey of holistic healing and self-discovery.

In these exploratory and nurturing group settings, individuals come together to share their stories, struggles, and triumphs, knowing that they are part of a supportive community that embraces the whole person. Through open and compassionate dialogue, we explore the underlying causes of our challenges and explore innovative approaches to fostering well-being.

By integrating various therapeutic modalities, such as talk therapy, mindfulness practices, somatic techniques, expressive arts, and more, holistic group therapy provides a rich and diverse toolkit for personal growth. It allows us to tap into our innate strengths, develop self-awareness, and unlock our potential for transformation.

 

Some of the areas of work in a mens group can be:

*Areas related to sex and sexuality

*Deprogramming from toxic masculinity / Healing father wound

*Grief, Isolation, and Loneliness

*Performance anxiety and perceptions

*Conditional vs Unconditional love

*Stress and anxiety over career, love, money, identity and lifestyle

*Body image and comparisons

*Vulnerability and emotional intelligence

*Setting goals / Getting unstuck

*Relationship with other men

*Relationship with addictions and feelings

*Community & reducing feelings of isolation

*Improving communication & conflict management

*Treating Anger and/or Depression

*Aging and Life Transitions

 

 

In addition to addressing individual concerns, holistic group therapy emphasizes the power of connection and community. By sharing our experiences with others who may be facing similar struggles, we can find solace, validation, and a sense of belonging. This collective support acts as a catalyst for healing, fostering resilience and offering new perspectives on our own journeys.

My website is dedicated to providing a wealth of information and resources on holistic group therapy and workshops.  I invite you to explore the offerings, reach out to me to connect with like-minded individuals, and embark on a path of holistic healing and personal growth. Together, let us embrace the interconnectedness of our beings and embark on a journey towards wholeness, well-being, and profound transformation.
