Current Therapy Groups

Women's Group
One of the most important things that people learn during college is how to interact with others in social and romantic relationships.  This can be particularly challenging for women, who often juggle many responsibilities AND try to make relationships a priority.  By looking at past relationships (like those with our parents) and current relationships (like those with our friends and romantic partners), we are able to explore what we want and need in a relationship.  Once we know what we want from a relationship we are better able to express our needs and desires to others in a healthy way.
