Group Information

Time: Evening courses are offered in six-week sessions regularly throughout the year.

Facilitators: Susan McKenzie, LCSW; Judith Wilson, Ph.D.; Meredith Brown, MFT

The focus of this group is to assist participants in decreasing their anxiety and depression. Using the manual, Mind Over Mood, by Dennis Greenberger, Ph.D. and Christine Padesky, Ph.D., the group meets for six weeks. Participants are asked to invest about one hour per week in addition to group time to practice new skills.

Participants will learn how to change thoughts that contribute to feelings of anger, anxiety, depression and other negative feelings. Ongoing cognitive groups may be available following this course.
