Groups

I have facilitated numerous psychotherapy and training groups, as well as taught group therapy and dynamics, in the U.S. and abroad. I was one of the youngest people to have been elected a Fellow of the American Group Psychotherapy Association in recognition of my contributions to the field group psychotherapy.

Forming Now:

Holding On And Letting Go: An in-person, all-gender therapy group on living with loss and love

Every other Mondays 1:00-2:15 pm (in-person)

This is not a typical grief group. Instead, it is mostly a general process group that invites an ongoing meditation and exploration on facing the full catastrophe of life along with all of its loss and love. In doing so, group members can become better at accepting and moving through their grief and loss and at emerging on the other side with some transformation, connection, and resilience.

In service of its tasks, this group also integrates improvisation and clown (physical theater) with process-oriented group psychotherapy to deepen group members’ capacity to play, to be present, to be embodied, and to connect to themselves and to one another. Every group session begins with one brief improvisational, clown, or other meditative exercise designed to heighten awareness, facilitate group development, and deepen exploration of current goals. Members will have the remainder of the group session to examine their emotions, roles, and relationship patterns as they occur here-and-now.

$75 per group

Bilingual Clinical Consultation Group (online) | 中英文临床督导小组 （线上）

Every other Mondays 8:00-9:15 am Central Time

I have been training, supervising, and consulting to bilingual English/Mandarin clinicians in the U.S. and China for over 10 years. When I started my private practice in Chicago, I could count all of the city’s Mandarin/English bilingual therapists in private practice on one hand. I am also a former faculty and clinical supervisor for the China American Psychoanalytic Alliance (CAPA). I am experienced in supporting the professional growth of bilingual clinicians on both sides of the Pacific. Join this consultation group from anywhere and receive integrative consultation to facilitate your psychotherapy work through the following lenses: psychodynamic, group dynamics, Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma, cross-cultural, leadership, improvisation/play, & the dynamics of addiction. I will likely speak predominantly in English, as that’s the language in which I’m trained.

通过以下多元视角的督导支持，深化您的心理治疗工作：精神动力学、小组动力学、内在家庭系统（IFS）、创伤、跨文化、领导学、即兴／游戏，以及成瘾的动力学。

$75 per group; sliding scale available
