Process Group for Emerging Therapists

This group may be a good fit if you

• You're navigating graduate training or the early years of your career as a therapist.

• You want to deepen your self-awareness and better understand your relational patterns.

• You feel isolated and want meaningful connection with peers who truly understand the experience of becoming a therapist.

• You notice patterns such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, or fear of conflict.

• You're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, or struggling with imposter syndrome.

• Individual therapy has been helpful, and you're looking to deepen your growth through relationships with others.

Why an Interpersonal Process Group?

Unlike a support group or skills-based group, interpersonal process therapy focuses on what happens between people in the present moment.

As members interact, recurring relational patterns naturally emerge—how you seek closeness, respond to feedback, navigate conflict, set boundaries, ask for support, or protect yourself when you feel vulnerable. With the support of the group, these patterns become opportunities for greater awareness, healing, and lasting change.

For emerging therapists, this work is especially valuable. The way you relate within the group often reflects the way you relate outside of it—with clients, supervisors, colleagues, friends, partners, and family. As you become more aware of these patterns, you have greater freedom to choose how you respond in your relationships, in your personal life, and in your work with clients.

Benefits of Group

Through participation, members often:

• Develop greater self-awareness and emotional insight.

• Better understand how they impact others, and how others impact them.

• Practice expressing thoughts, feelings, and needs more openly.

• Build healthier boundaries and more satisfying relationships.

• Become more comfortable giving and receiving honest feedback.

• Feel more connected and less alone through authentic relationships.

• Develop greater authenticity, confidence, and emotional presence in both their personal lives and clinical work.

A Space for Personal and Professional Growth

The early years of becoming a therapist can be deeply rewarding, but they can also feel isolating, emotionally demanding, and full of uncertainty. As therapists, we're often the ones holding space for others. It can be difficult to find places where we can show up fully as ourselves—not as clinicians, but as people.

Process group offers that opportunity: a place to deepen your self-understanding, experience authentic relationships, and grow alongside others who are navigating many of the same questions and challenges.
