Men's SUPPORT Groups
I first began offering men's groups to provide a comfortable, safe and supportive forum where small groups of men could openly discuss their problems, personal challenges, and desires. I found that the group format allowed the participants not only to address their own issues, but also fostered strong interpersonal bonds among the men. The men's groups inspired a strong spirit of camaraderie, mutual strength and trust.
After years of experience leading men's groups, I refined the group therapy model to provide the ideal environment for growth, personal enrichment, and friendship. If you're tired of going it alone, consider trying one of my men's groups. It truly is a better way!
My groups are for support and empowerment. The issues commonly brought to group are: relationships, depression, addictions, anxiety, stress, life changes, self esteem. The minimum commitment is for six weeks but the average stay is 3 1/2 years because men get that much out of the experience. Each group becomes a community of support for the men. I run four groups a week: Mondays 4-6 and 6:30-8:30, Wednesdays 4-6 and 6:30 to 8:30. The standard group is 1.5 hrs. Mine are 2+ hours for maximum results. Group is $95 per 2-hour session. [An interview is required for new members.] Individual therapy sessions are also available for either men or women at $250 an hour.
If you are interested in joining a group or just have questions, contact Gary directly at 408-399-5545.
