Groups and Courses

Why join a group?

Groups are a great way to learn skills in a welcoming, low-stress atmosphere. They are time-limited and cost less than individual therapy.

How does it work?

If one or more of our groups appeals to you, reach out to us via the sign-up button, and we’ll answer any questions you have or ask you a few questions to make sure the group is a good fit. We’ll then get you signed up!

What is the cost?

Group and workshop fees vary depending on group size and length. See below for each group’s details. We have a limited number of sliding fee and scholarship spots available when needed. We do not bill insurance for groups or workshops, though we are happy to provide you with a receipt.

Overcome control, challenge perfectionism and find flexibility -

Do you struggle with perfectionism, high standards for yourself and others, and the need to do things “just right”? Does this leave you feeling disconnected, anxious, or never quite satisfied?

Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be just what you are looking for! In building evidence-based skills and supportive connections, we can help you learn to let go of rigid thinking, embrace openness and flexibility, and build authentic relationships.

This group is offered in small sections, both live in our Brookline office and virtually with Laura Ferrer, PhD, and Gabrielle Massey, MA. Members make a 3-month/ $1200 renewable commitment to this group, with an option to stay longer.
