How does group therapy help people going through life transitions?

One of the most common reasons guys join my gay men’s therapy groups is that they need support and feedback while making major transitions in their life.  Men from across the country have contacted me before moving to New York so that they could join a group to ease their transition into a new life and cushion themselves against feelings of isolation.

Men who have just broken up with a long-term partner or have been ghosted by someone they were dating often reach out for group support.  Men who are changing jobs or careers find great solace in having a regular place to gather once a week

Group becomes a safe place to express your anxieties as you branch out to meet new men and join new communities.  You can get some straight feedback about how you come across from your fellow group members. You may be inspired by seeing the courage other men in your group show in challenging themselves to reach some of their social and work goals. Group can help you begin taking manageable steps for socializing in new situations. We can catch you when you feel thwarted or unaccepted.

Being in group, you have a big healthy family that cares about you and your concerns, and roots for you.  With support, you can take your first wobbly steps forward and eventually become bolder and more grounded.  We can help you learn new skills for approaching, engaging and deepening connections with men you like. Maybe you need help setting boundaries or balancing between your needs and those of others.  Or maybe we can help you stop worrying about how you come across to others
