Adult Group Therapy

COMMUNITY CONNECTION, HEALING, AND GROWTH

One of the most powerful tools for healing is knowing that we’re not alone. Parenting and caretaking children, despite being something that so many of us do, can sometimes feel profoundly isolating. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to, and we can all benefit from the reminder that what we’re feeling is not ours alone to hold. 

If you’re looking for the dedicated support of therapy along with the added benefits of community, we may have a group for you! At Ensemble Therapy, we offer rotating counseling group options, so check back often.

Feel more connected to your relationship with yourself, while getting connected to the relationships around you at the same time. Together and on your own, you can strengthen your ability to show up with more understanding and confidence, for you and the ones you care about.

CHILD-PARENT RELATIONSHIP TRAINING

Facilitated by Rachel Esparza, LPC-Associate, Supervised by Jaclyn N Sepp, MA, LPC-S, RPT-S®, NCC, RYT®200 and Sheila Wessels, MEd, LPC-S, RPT-S™.

It’s natural to struggle with your role as a parent or caregiver, and so many of those struggles can come from a sense of miscommunication that can feel frustrating or exasperating. Why does it feel like we’re snapping more often when we wish we were laughing, or nagging when we feel like we’ve already said what we mean? 

Sometimes as caregivers we can find ourselves saying the same things over and over without any changes, wondering if we’re even speaking the same language as the child in front of us. Sometimes we aren’t! 

Child-Parent Relationship Therapy offers new ways of caregiving to interpret what gets lost in translation, giving you tools to strengthen your relationship with your child, understand where they are coming from, feel understood, and regain a sense of closeness.

The key? Give your children what they need most: YOU!

Learn tools that allow you to focus on what is going well in your relationship with your child and collaborate on your strengths together to build a bond you’re proud of.

In this 10 week group setting, you will learn skills and strategies to help you:

  • Feel confident in how to communicate with your child with acceptance and understanding, while also communicating your own experiences and needs

  • Become more receptive to your child’s feelings and develop more realistic expectations for their development and behavior

  • Understand how to respond to your child’s emotional needs with greater effectiveness and ease

  • Implement more effective discipline strategies, limit inappropriate behavior, and regain control without using aversive discipline strategies

  • Shift your family’s interactional system to one that is more positive, functional, and proactive

In 10 weeks, caregivers report their own learning resulting in their child feeling empowered to:

  • Better understand and be able to communicate their feelings and needs more effectively

  • Accept themselves more completely by feeling secure in their own independence and your shared attachment bond

  • Gain mastery, solve problems, and learn to be responsible for their own actions

  • Change maladaptive behaviors to more proactive ones because there’s less need to act out to get their needs met

  • Become more interpersonally competent and gain a greater sense of empathy and awareness
