Therapy and Process Groups
General Therapy Group
Open to both graduate and undergraduate students, general therapy groups tend to focus on relationships, intimacy, boundaries, self-awareness and other components of interpersonal process. These groups are designed to help members learn to deal with a variety of concerns including feelings of depression and anxiety, relationship issues, and other personal and academic concerns.

Kathleen Staley, Ph.D.
Kelly M. Clougher, M.A.
Men's Group
In this group, men have the opportunity to form close relationships with other men, to realize that they are not alone with their problems, issues, and concerns; and to discover that other men also struggle with not being able to get in touch with their feelings, or to identify and know that they are, in fact, anxious or depressed, or full of anger or sadness. Do you relate to or identify with this? If so, come to find out if this group is right for you.
TBA

Psycho-Education and Support Groups
Dissertation Support Group
An ongoing weekly self-help and support group for those who are involved in all stages of the dissertation process. Degree of structure of the group will depend upon the needs and requests of the participants. The program will address some of the most frequently encountered challenges doctoral students experience while writing the dissertation. It will also suggest strategies to minimize those potential challenges.
