Ongoing Groups Available
Group therapy offers people the opportunity to interact within the context of a small group. A professional therapist will help the group to function as both a support group and as a sounding board by offering direct feedback.
Group therapy brings people together around a particular topic, combining the spontaneity of group conversation with a sense of intimacy and familiarity among group members. Group therapy often becomes an opportunity
for people to begin taking new steps with others in a safe environment.
Sexual Addiction: A Group for Men

The descent into sexual addiction for a man is a slippery slope of tantalizing promises and insatiable desire, where nothing feels more satisfying and more disappointing all at the same time. Sadly, it's usually only when lives are destroyed or someone is "caught" that the choices made are identified as a problem. But there is hope before the crisis for those who choose to ask for help.
Sexual addiction can include but is not limited to: pornography, fantasy, and infidelity. This group will explore themes such as the cycle of addiction, shame, and isolation. We will also discuss myths such as: "pornography is just about the sex," "sex outside of marriage is an unforgivable sin," and "nobody struggles with sexual addiction to the level that I do". This group examines not only the sexual struggle but the legitimate longings and underlying reasons why a man spirals into sexual addiction.

Discovering that your husband struggles with sexual addiction often leaves a woman feeling confused, hurt, and isolated. It is usually difficult to know who you can share such a painful reality with and how much to reveal. This support group is for the wives of men involved in or in recovery from pornography, sexual addiction or adultery to have a place to talk, learn, and heal. In the group, you will learn how to work through the anger, the hurt, the confusion, and the sense of rejection.
This group will discuss practical issues, such as knowing what to do now that you know, understanding your husband’s sexuality, what to do if change doesn’t come, and how to face the difficult decisions in your marriage. It will also be a place to come and be known, feel heard, and find hope. We hope you’ll join us.

Everyone gets angry, but so few of us really follow
through with our anger in ways that are healthy, loving,
and productive. When you get angry, do you withdraw,
shut down in relationship, get discouraged and want
to throw in the towel, or become overly aggressive on
the road or in work or play? While some people's
anger erupts violently, most of us express anger
through frustration, irritability, annoyance, or tension.
Either way, anger simply managed or covered up
eventually leaves us isolated and hurting the people
we want to enjoy. Come join us and begin learning
how to deal with anger well.

Do you ever wish for time and space to be more
creative? Do you want to know if you even have a
creative side? Sometimes in the craziness of life,
work, kids, and everything in between, we can often
lose sight of the wonderful artistic parts of ourselves.
Yet, allowing ourselves a space to be artistic often
brings focus and more enjoyment to the other parts of
our lives.
Come join a community of women who desire to use
simple art forms to explore the deeper parts of
themselves, their emotions, and the themes that run
throughout their story. No artistic skill is required...really!
