Groups
Therapy Groups
Heleen Woest, a licensed professional counselor, will facilitate the sessions.
Groups will convene either virtually or in Tigard, Oregon, based on the specific group’s format.
Registration for groups is open to adults of all genders, ages, sexual orientations, disabilities, religious beliefs, races, ethnicities, and cultures. However, group therapy may not be suitable or beneficial for everyone. The group counselor will conduct interviews with each registrant to assess their compatibility with the group setting. The effectiveness of therapy groups largely relies on the dynamics within the group and the developmental stages of its members. Should an individual be deemed not currently suitable for a group, the counselor will recommend alternative treatment options.
Please note that the commencement date and availability in a group are contingent upon the group reaching its capacity.
