MEN’S GROUP Men’s Therapy Groups: These process-oriented groups are designed to help men become more self-aware and overcome emotional isolation. Topics discussed include problematic relationships, managing anxiety and depression, communicating emotions, especially the appropriate expression of anger, being assertive, and dealing with grief. The primary focus, however, is learning about oneself through the interactions and relationships with fellow group members. While research has shown that men are less likely than women to discuss personal problems, in an all male group, participants can discover the universality of men's experiences and feel less alone and isolated.
Group Type: Men, ongoing, process-oriented group Time: Tuesdays 7:30-9:00am, Wednesdays 8:00-9:30 a.m., or Wednesdays 4:15-5:45 p.m. Location: Cotswold area: 417 South Sharon Amity Road, Charlotte 28211 Cost: $85 per session/week Group Leaders: Randy Wall, PhD • 704-364-0452 [email protected] and Joe Parisi, PhD 704-362-1555 • www.drjoeparisi.com
WOMEN’S GROUP Insight: A Program for Women: 12-week group of cognitive behavioral therapy addressing women’s self-esteem issues including codependency. Workbook includes specific exercises to decrease depression and anxiety and increase self-esteem. Research based. The group is specifically designed for women who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or negative thinking patterns. The group accelerates personal growth, self-esteem, and positive relationships. Karen has been leading these groups for over 20 years in Charlotte.

P a g e 2 ADULT GROUPS (Mixed Gender)
Attachment, Trauma & Emotional Regulation: This group is for individuals who present with depression, anxiety, repetitive relationship struggles, and/or compulsive behaviors such as eating disorders, alcoholism, or other addictions. It is appropriate for people who grew up in family systems in which there was addiction, rigidity, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and/or neglect, and who wish to break out of the patterns of mood and behavior disturbances that early confusion and trauma can set up. The first hour of each 2 ½ hour group is psychoeducational and includes a variety of audiovisual materials and exercises to help group members identify their particular patterns and areas of loss, grief, and shame. Material from the fields of Attachment Theory as well as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the impact on the nervous system is presented, including the models of Somatic Experiencing, Bodynamics Attachment, Shame Resilience, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness practice, as well as other material related to brain plasticity and resilience. The second half of the group is a process group that provides a forum for individuals to not only process through personal issues, but also to work within the group context to learn and practice self-regulation, boundaries, and healthy conflict resolution.
Group Type: Adult, mixed gender, ongoing, psychoeducational/process Time: Wednesdays 4:30-7:00 p.m.; Requires 18-week commitment Group Size: Limited to 8. Location: Southpark area: 5950 Fairview Road, Ste. 603, Charlotte, NC 28210 Cost: $75 per 2 ½ hour session/week Group Leader: Donna M.

The Daring Way™ Shame Resilience Group & Rising Strong™ Group: Hustling for Worthiness? The Daring Way™ Shame Resilience 8 week psychoeducational group is a soulful exploration of what it means to engage the world from a place of worthiness; to move from "what will people think?" to "I am enough." Many experts agree that shame lies at the core of addictive and compulsive behavior. Goals include: Understanding what drives the messages of "never good enough"; exploring triggers and vulnerabilities; embracing vulnerability, self-compassion and imperfection; choosing courage and authenticity over pretending, pleasing and perfecting; living and loving with our whole hearts. Rising Strong™ is a later development and goes more deeply into understanding emotion and how it is related to behavior and thought; it also delves more deeply into a life crisis and not only helps the person develop more self-compassion for how they found themselves there, but also expands personal accountability. It includes a powerful segment on forgiveness. Groups follow one another in cycles and are also being offered periodically as weekend intensives. Both groups are based on the pioneering research of Dr. Brené Brown. Group Type: Adult, mixed gender Time: Mondays 5:30-7:30 p.m. Location: Southpark area: 5950 Fairview Road, Suite 603, Charlotte, NC 28210 Cost: $650.00 for 16 hours Group Leader: Donna M. Davis, LCSW, LMFT, SEP, CSAT, AAMFT Approved Supervisor Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator • (704) 333-3341 https://www.therapistlocator.net/tl/viewprofile.aspx?ID=13848

P a g e 3 Stress Management: Stress is unavoidable. How we respond to stress can make a difference between just getting through things, and having a rich and meaningful life regardless of what is thrown at you. This 6-week workshop is based on Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), an evidence-based approach to creating a rich and meaningful life. Participants will learn new skills for relating to stressors in a different and more effective manner and identify behavior changes that will lead to a better quality of life and well-being.
