EHI Continues In-Person Bay Area Consult Group

The Existential-Humanistic Institute is excited to offer Bay Area in-person existential-humanistic therapy Consult Groups. The Existential Humanistic Institute is offering in-person consultation groups for licensed professionals in the San Francisco Bay area led by EHI Faculty. Each group is limited to six or seven licensed Masters and/or Ph.D. psychotherapists. Consultation will focus on cases that illustrate the existential-humanistic orientation to therapeutic practice. This group is an opportunity to explore how all therapeutic orientations are enhanced by incorporating existential and humanistic perspectives.

Consult Group Program Description

The EHI Consult Group Program is intended to give participants hands-on experiential opportunities to gain a deeper understanding of how to work with clients from an e-h perspective. Each group will be facilitated by an EHI faculty member who will serve as the group leader. Leaders will emphasize effective relational and experiential techniques that enable genuine encounters and real therapeutic change. 
    In each group participants will be able to focus on:
  • • Cultivating clients' personal and relational presence
  • • Tracking and reflecting clients' process
  • • Mirroring and resolving clients' problematic protective patterns.
    By role-playing clients we will gain depth to our understanding of:
  • • Their self and world constructs.
  • • How their protective patterns may trigger the therapist.
  • • How to work with the therapist's personal contexts to resolve therapeutic impasses.

Professional, Safe, and Supportive Group Environment

Participants will have opportunities to present cases in a safe and supportive environment. The group leader will assist the group to not only understand the complexities and nuances of the suffering of the client but also the challenges to the therapist to effect change. Group Length: 5 Months
