Interpersonal Process Group

Exploring Relationships as They Happen

Group therapy offers a unique opportunity to understand yourself through relationships—with others and within yourself—as those experiences unfold in real time. An interpersonal process group focuses less on advice or predetermined topics and more on what emerges naturally between members: moments of connection, distance, misunderstanding, curiosity, and care.

This group is grounded in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy and is designed for adults who want to explore relational patterns in a reflective, supportive setting.

What Is an Interpersonal Process Group?

An interpersonal process group is a form of therapy that emphasizes here-and-now emotional experience within the group itself.

Rather than working from a set agenda, the group attends to:

  • How you experience others

  • How others experience you

  • Patterns of closeness, avoidance, conflict, or protection

  • Emotional responses as they arise in the room

With clinical guidance, these moments become opportunities for insight, understanding, and change. Over time, participants often begin to recognize familiar relational patterns and experiment with new ways of relating.

How Group Therapy Can Help

Group therapy can be especially helpful if you:

  • Notice recurring challenges in relationships

  • Feel unseen, misunderstood, or disconnected from others

  • Struggle with closeness, conflict, or emotional expression

  • Want to better understand how your past shapes present relationships

  • Are curious about how others experience you

For many people, group therapy complements individual therapy by making relational dynamics more visible and immediate.

About the Group Format

This is an open, weekly interpersonal process group, meaning new members may join as space becomes available. While membership can change over time, the group maintains consistent structure, leadership, and therapeutic focus.

The group emphasizes:

  • Emotional honesty within a respectful therapeutic frame

  • Curiosity rather than judgment

  • Attention to both individual experience and group dynamics

Participants are encouraged to speak openly, reflect on their internal experiences, and engage thoughtfully with others.

Who This Group Is For

This group may be a good fit if you:

  • Have experience in individual therapy or feel ready for reflective group work

  • Are open to emotional exploration and feedback

  • Want to deepen your understanding of relational patterns

  • Can commit to regular weekly attendance

You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from group therapy. Many people join because they want to understand themselves more deeply or relate differently to others.
