I lead an on-going cognitive behavior group that started in March 2008.  I personally meet with each man who is interested joining this group to determine whether the group would be a good fit for them and to help ensure the safety of the existing group members. All of the men in this group are interested in improving the relationship they have with themselves, and with their partners, family, friends, and or work colleagues.  Most of the men have (or at one time had), a professional career.  Some participants have struggled with some type of addiction (although this is not a 12 step group).  I use a mindfulness approach, combined with psycho-education, and group psycho-dynamics.  I lead the group and monitor interactions to help the men feel safe, help ensure that confidentiality is respected, and to help keep the conversation focused.   Some of the issues that the group addresses include:  Communication with your partner, family, friends, boss or children.  Grief and loss (loss of job, relationship, health).  Life and career transitions (new opportunities).  Personal growth and responsibility.  Veteran's support, post deployment and re-entry.  A desire to make sense of it all. The group meets on Monday evenings. It’s located near the Capital Campus in Olympia.  Men who are interested in joining the group must meet in person with Bill to discuss whether the group would be a good fit.  There is no charge for this visit. I will not bill your insurance company for group therapy; however I can give you a superbill that you can submit to your health plan. Contact Bill for more information.
