Group Psychotherapy
in-person in East Arlington, mA
Do you want more out of your therapy?
Because many of our struggles develop in relationships, healing happens in relationships. Group therapy offers a unique opportunity to better understand yourself through real-time interactions with others. In a supportive and engaged environment, members explore patterns, practice new ways of relating, and build confidence and self-awareness in the moment.
The group becomes a space to work with themes such as communication, boundaries, trust, and conflict while receiving feedback, deepening insight, and strengthening the ability to form more meaningful and satisfying relationships.
Group psychotherapy is an effective first-line treatment and can often create change more efficiently than individual therapy alone.
Hi, I’m Jennifer DeSouza.
I’m a certified group psychotherapist in Arlington, MA with over 13 years of experience facilitating interpersonal process groups for adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
In addition to extensive training in group psychotherapy, I have also participated in therapy groups myself. These experiences deepened my belief in the transformative power of group therapy and its unique ability to foster insight, connection, and lasting personal growth.
What happens in group therapy?
In group, the leader facilitates connection and feedback between the members. This provides you with an array of different perspectives, experiences, and opportunities for reflection. The self-awareness and understanding you develop are a catalyst for growth.
Group therapy allows you to connect in real-time with people who, like you, want to address issues such as:
Enhancing emotional flexibility
Coping with loss
Improving relationships, communication, and boundaries
The best part of being in a group? You don’t have to do it alone.
“I was new to therapy when I started working with Jenn, and she met me with respect, candor, and generosity. Over the course of a year and a half, she and I built a relational space in which I experimented, learned, and grew on my own terms. I find confidence and motivation in the tools and takeaways I've walked away with.”
–AS, Client
