Description
The depression recovery group is a process group in which people can discuss any issue that they would like to discuss. But it also has a psychoeducational component in that there is often a skill building component. For example, we work on improving assertiveness skills, conflict resolution skills, cognitive restructuring skills, self-care skills, etc. In addition, the clients in the group share their experiences, support one another, and give one another positive feedback to encourage them in the depression recovery process. In order to join the group, the client must see Mr. Johnson for at least 6 individual therapy sessions to make sure that they are a good fit for the group. We also go on group outings to places like museums, art galleries, and restaurants about every three months so that clients can meet in person and get to know one another better. Please email Mr. Johnson if you would like to apply to attend the group.
