• We have helped thousands of clients create new possibilities for themselves, their families and their communities

• Our positive, group therapeutic process helps adults, families and children create with others and in doing so, grow emotionally. How?

•  People get better by creating environments where we can bring our emotional and relationship struggles and create something new with it - new conversations, new meanings, new emotions, new lives.

A new approach to human development

• We are part of a humanist national and international set of projects with the belief that if we address the issue of human development we might indeed change the world
• It is a psychology of becoming, of action, of activism, of community.
• Our Psychology supports people’s development in three related ways:

1. To experience the socialness of our human existence
2. To exercise the power of collective creativity
3. To live our lives in ways that build community

--Holzman , L. (2004) Psychological Investigations: An Introduction to Social Therapy

• With centers across the country, Social Therapy has inspired hundreds of practitioners and theoreticians interested in an activity-based approach to emotional growth and has had influence in the fields of psychology, medicine, business and education.

Yes, you can change your world!
