What is Social Therapy?  A Psychology of Becoming.

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

  • Our positive, unique group therapy process helps people grow emotionally. 
     

  • We get better by creating environments where we can share emotional and relationship struggles together and create something new with it: new conversations, new meanings, new emotions, new lives.
