Group Therapy

Group Therapy is often considered very helpful and instrumental in increasing insight and eliciting change. A powerful process occurs when clients can meet with others in a safe, confidential environment carefully mediated by an experienced and trained Group  Therapist. What is most powerful is the realization that “we are not alone” in our experiences, losses, emotions and reactions…. and Group Therapy can often augment our individual therapy services if needed.

Aileen has several years training and experience in Group Therapy, conducting groups in hospital settings, intensive day treatment facilities, correctional facilities and community agencies.

"Perhaps the single most important therapeutic credo that I have
is that the unexamined life is not worth living." – Irving D. Yalom
