A variety of interpersonal therapy groups are available each semester. You may select an undergraduate or graduate-student-based interpersonal group. These groups allow individuals to grow in awareness of both self and others through the practice and experience of relating effectively with the group in a supportive and safe environment. Typical concerns appropriate to the group therapy setting include relationships, self-growth, communication, and assertiveness. Individuals interested in participating in group therapy should discuss options during their initial clinical consultation appointment or with their current therapist.
