Solution-Focus Groups:

What is a solution-focused group?  In some groups, there can be an emphasis on deficits, traumas, or other problems that members seek to relieve through exploration, sharing, and sometimes re-hashing.  While this can be validating in the sense that we find out that we have common themes and experiences, it is also true that we can find, by shifting the emphasis in the conversation, that we have common resources, and that we can help each other identify strengths and potentials we did not know were there.  A solution-focused group is one that focuses on strengths and resources, increasing almost exponentially potential solutions to presenting issues and problems.  The positive orientation contributes to an environment where group members become excited about discovering hidden strengths and unrecognized internal solutions. I find this kind of work inspiring and enjoyable, and I am looking forward to working with these groups.

When:  weeknights:  7 – 8:30 pm, dates TBA.

Where:  We will meet in the newly renovated group space at my offices here at 40 Bolivia Street. 

Fees:  Group participation is covered by many insurance plans.  Your cost will be $25 per session, or your co-pay – whichever is less, payable at each session.  A 10% discount will be applied to fees or co-pays that are pre-paid for a full six-week commitment.  A sliding scale is available if needed.  Please consult with me about these details ahead of time.
