The Interpersonal Process Group offers a collaborative and safe environment for adults to gain a better understanding of themselves and others. Emphasizing here-and-now relationships, members work to develop not only improved relationships within the group, but also in the outside world. The group aims to help build a stronger sense of self and resolve obstacles through recognizing, experiencing, and sharing of emotions. Requirements: Those aged 18+ interested in improving interpersonal relationships and/or trying new ways of relating to others. Membership is determined after intake and consultation sessions.

We explore our struggles with a deep understanding of ourselves, and give women the space to voice these experiences. We will also provide psychoeducation on trauma/racial trauma and its effects on our minds and bodies, and provide skills or activities such as mindfulness that help us heal. Above all, the main goal is essentially to promote strength and connection for women of color in a time where this connection and community is vital, and especially needed.

The Grief and Mourning group at The Psychological Center at City College is a space for those looking to process current or past experiences of loss or grief in their life. Sessions will aim to facilitate individual and group processing around the experience of mourning and other existential questions activated by the challenges of loss.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) integrates cognitive behavior therapy with teachings in mindfulness and acceptance. Developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, DBT helps us address difficulties with regulating emotions, impulse control, assertiveness, and relationships. Together patients learn and practice skills that help identify and manage emotions, so that the person feels empowered to tolerate life events and to navigate interactions with others.

This group combines an interpersonal process group with a DBT skills group. Participants engage with each other about their experiences in their lives outside the group and their experiences of each other within the group. Each patient's developing knowledge of DBT skills offers a shared foundation that group members turn to when raising experiences that call for mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skillfulness.
