Group therapy sessions often involve around seven to twelve individuals and meets one or twice each week for an hour or two. These sessions allow people to receive the support and encouragement of the other members of the group.
People participating in the group can see that others are going through the same thing, which can help them feel less alone.
Groups offered at Lee Carlson Center are facilitated by licensed therapists who are often assisted by clinical interns with an interest or expertise in a certain area.
Current Group Offerings include:

A Journey to Hope and Healing For Women (Group)
This group provides a safe space for women whose lives have been turned upside down due to life experiences which include hurtful putdowns, harsh criticism, and other emotional abuse, as well as physical or sexual abuse. Based on trust and honesty, many women find this group to be a place where they are free to share their painful experiences and memories in a non-judgmental and accepting environment and together find health and freedom.
