Interpersonal feedback:  
How to give it and how to get it  

Ten tips for getting the most  

out of group therapy  

I believe that the potential for change is in everyone and that Interpersonal Group Therapy provides a unique setting for people to learn how to think, feel and behave in ways that work more effectively for them. I am particularly interested in helping people develop greater intimacy in their relationships and to overcome feelings of anxiety, shame and depression. Most people joining my groups have tried for many years to change and have found themselves stuck. Having the support of others while also giving and receiving feedback provides you with an opportunity to create a new direction in your life. I have an in-depth explanation for how I lead groups called "Making Group Therapy Work for You" that is available on-line.

I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Temple University in Philadelphia, am a Certified Group Psychotherapist and have been awarded the honor of Fellow of the American Group Psychotherapy Association in recognition of my contributions to the field of group psychotherapy. I have been active in teaching, supervising and publishing about group therapy and have been leading groups for over 25 years. During the 1980's I was the Director of Group Psychotherapy and the Director of Psychology at Westwood Lodge Psychiatric Hospital. I have served on the Board of Directors of the Northeastern Society for Group Psychotherapy and of the National Registry of Certified Group Psychotherapists. I am one of the founders and a current co-President of Group Solutions Network, Inc.

In addition to leading several groups, I also work with individuals and have a speciality in couples therapy. You can find out more about me at www.sorensentherapy.com.
