MEN’S PROCESSING GROUP

every 3rd MONDAY of EACH MONTH

8:30 - 10: 00 am

Co-Facilitated by:
Drew Phillips, LMFT and Joel Baker, LMFT

Sometimes to break out of our old cycles, to unlock the changes we wish to see, we have to practice new actions- to take a risk with others and be truly ourselves. That practice is what this group is about.
To create a safe space for men to explore themselves, experiment with boundaries and compassion, to understand their own emotions and history along with other members.

This is an open process group for men ages 25 and up. Group members will enjoy a safe space to connect, challenge, and support each other.
Group discussion topics may include: navigating relationships, friendships in adulthood, life stresses due to career challenges and life transitions, pressures of masculinity and gender roles, body image, self introspection, and more. Other topics will be covered at group members' discretion.

LOCATION : In person, at Midtown Psychotherapy Associates: 199 Armour Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30324

PRICE : $90 per session with a 6 month commitment to the group.
