Group Therapy - Coming in 2026!
Are you a man seeking deeper emotional skills, stronger relationships, and a more authentic sense of self?
The Forge is an ongoing, open-ended interpersonal process group designed for men ready to move beyond restrictive definitions of masculinity. In our modern world, men are often conditioned to isolate, minimize emotion, and manage challenges alone. This group provides a structured, confidential space to dismantle that isolation and explore how you connect—or fail to connect—with others.
This group focuses intensely on the "here-and-now" moment. We don't just talk about problems; we focus on how you relate to the men in the room. By examining your behavior within the group, you gain immediate, constructive
insight into how you are perceived and how you impact your relationships outside the room. This process creates the foundation for lasting, meaningful change.
We affirm that masculinity is diverse and welcome men from all backgrounds who are committed to honest self-exploration and supportive feedback.
The Transformative Benefits of Group Process
Participating in an interpersonal process group provides unique therapeutic factors that individual therapy often cannot replicate.
Members of The Forge can expect to gain:
-
Interpersonal Learning and Feedback: Gain honest, immediate insight into how your relational style affects others, allowing you to explore new, healthier ways of relating within the safety of the group.
-
The Power of Universality: Discover that your deepest struggles, fears, and vulnerabilities are not unique. Sharing one's personal experience and witnessing the journeys of others cultivates profound relief, deeper empathy, and genuine connection.
-
Enhanced Cohesion and Emotional Literacy: The intense, shared journey builds deep trust and a strong sense of belonging, enabling you to identify and articulate complex emotions with clarity.
-
Confronting Existential Realities: Grapple with life's big questions—responsibility, freedom, meaning, and mortality—leading to a greater commitment to living an authentic and purposeful life.
