Creating Thriving Groups: Therapeutic & Administrative "How-Tos"

1 CE Recorded: Winter, 2025

With all of the changes that are and have been taking place in the world in recent years, group therapy is needed now more than ever! Not only does it help us use our resources better – one therapist to a group, it also is one of the most effective right-brain-to-right-brain therapies that exist!

What does that mean?

As we all know, attachment wounds are often comorbid with many other mental health issues and group is specifically equipped to heal attachment wounds.

However, many of us also know how difficult group therapy can be. It’s a lot of weight on the clinician both clinically and administratively, especially those trying to use this modality in private practice. This short, 75-minute session will equip you with the answers to many “How do I…?” administrative and clinically-associated questions that arise and cause stress. If you have wanted to start a group but have been unsure how, have questions about the formulation and running of a group as well as marketing, insurance, and other organizational questions, then this is the session for you!
