A mixed gender group of young adults who draw upon each other's struggles, insights, and strengths to navigate transitions, explore relationships, and increase self-confidence. As witnessed in the timeless coming-of-age movie 'Breakfast Club', the process of becoming more fully known to one another develops trust, draws members closer, and furthers an appreciation of one's uniqueness. The group becomes a secure base from which new challenges are often met with greater confidence, clarity, and focus.

It’s a MYTH that professionals, serving the emotional health needs of others have their own all sewn up. Although, in fact, most are skilled and effective, like all human beings we are a work in progress. Firstly there are the occupational hazards of fatigue, unreal expectations, and living with uncertain results. When these challenges exist, however, over a layer of pre-existing personal/interpersonal challenge the toll is multiplied. I have led dynamically oriented relational process groups for members of the helping professions for 20 years and I have found it effective for discovery, deepening connections, increased self esteem, repair and rejuvenation.

Afternoon ‘Imperfect Together’ Young Adult Group

A misconception of far too many young adults is that one should be sailing seamlessly into adulthood. The standards they set for themselves are informed (TV, Social media), by what it looks like everyone else has: Budding career, sculptured body, relationship bliss, charismatic personality, olympian mind, all the right answers. This illusion has, of course, unfortunate consequences for those already disadvantaged by self doubt, social anxiety, and depression. Connections and relationships created in group therapy helps from both ends by enriching members’ self worth and identity while creating a more realistic and balanced perception of the world they inhabit.
