THERAPEUTIC GROUPS

"There is a natural order and harmony to this world, which we can discover. But we cannot just study that order scientifically or measure it mathematically. We have to feel it - in our bones, in our hearts, in our minds". ~ Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.

Experiential groups are at the heart of my practice. They offer connection, embodiment, creativity, relationship and belonging. I draw from Psychodrama, Relational Somatics, Expressive Arts and Group Process to mirror how fear, stuckness and familiar ways of protecting ourselves emerge in a collective. Together, we experiment with new choices, experience receiving support, and make space for greater aliveness.

WHAT TO EXPECT

My approach invites a willingness to trust the creative process, express what your body is communicating, engage your imagination, and experiment beyond what can be understood through words alone.

Participation is invitational. You can pause, adapt an experiment or choose not to take part. The work values dignity, difference, consent and the pace needed for trust to develop.

Here is a self-guided version of a prompt we might explore together. If being with others currently feels overwhelming, or if greater stability is needed, Individual Therapy may offer a more supportive starting point.

PARTICIPANT EXPERIENCE

"Jaya's group therapy has been really valuable in helping me understand why and when I feel overwhelmed in certain settings. Through experiments, she's helped me become more aware of how my body communicates stress. I found the experience to be invaluable for resourcing myself and moving forward."  - Group Participant

Monthly therapeutic groups 2027 -> In Person - $80 - 2 hour session.

A video consultation is a prerequisite before a place is confirmed in a group. It gives us time to discuss what you are looking for, any support needs and whether the group may be a good fit. After the consultation, I will explain the next steps.
