Group Therapy
There is something that happens in a room of people doing honest work together that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
Group therapy is not a lesser alternative to individual work. For many people, it is the more powerful one. The opportunity to be witnessed by others who are navigating their own version of the same terrain — and to witness them in return — creates a kind of learning and healing that one-on-one sessions simply cannot replicate.
Groups work because they are real. What happens between people in a group is a live version of what happens in their lives outside of it. The patterns that surface — around trust, conflict, belonging, visibility, and connection — are the same patterns that organize each person's relationships, career, and sense of self. Working with those patterns in real time, in the presence of others, is where change becomes possible in a different way.
All groups at Châtelain Therapy are small, carefully composed, and led with the same clinical rigor and directness that characterizes every other aspect of this practice. Membership in any group is by application and consultation only — not every group is the right fit for every person, and part of what makes the group work is that it is built with intention.
Relationships Under Pressure
A structured therapy group for couples navigating the specific pressures of high-achieving, demanding lives — where the relationship often becomes the thing that absorbs everything the rest of life cannot hold. This group is not conflict resolution or communication skills training. It is deeper than that.
Couples in this group work on the dynamics that drive distance: the unspoken contracts, the roles that have calcified, the resentments that accumulate when two people are too busy, too competent, and too proud to ask for what they actually need. Couples of all backgrounds and configurations are welcome. Enrollment by consultation only — both partners must participate in an individual consultation prior to joining.

Navigating Identity in a Changing World
A group for individuals navigating the psychological weight of the current political and social climate — the grief of DEI rollbacks, the stress of immigration uncertainty, the exhaustion of hypervigilance, and the particular challenge of holding onto a stable sense of self when the institutions around you are in flux.
This group is open to people of all backgrounds who are grappling with questions of identity, belonging, and what it means to build a life in the midst of significant external disruption. It is a working group, not a venting space — the goal is to understand what is happening, to process it honestly, and to leave with more clarity and more ground than you arrived with. Open to individuals from all cultural backgrounds.

Forming · Open Group · 90 Minutes · Bi-Weekly
Ongoing · Men's Therapy Group · 90 Minutes · WeeklyMen: Depth and Direction
This group is for men who are ready to examine the gap between how they present in the world and what they actually experience inside of it. It is not a support group in the traditional sense — it is a working group. Members are held accountable. Honesty is expected. Comfort is not the goal; growth is.
Topics that arise in this group include: emotional availability in relationships, the cost of chronic self-sufficiency, identity and masculinity across cultural contexts, leadership and its shadow, fatherhood, and the particular loneliness of men who appear to have everything together. Men from all backgrounds are welcome. The group is small by design — no more than eight members at any time.

How It Works
All group therapy at Châtelain Therapy begins with an individual consultation. This is not a formality — it is how I ensure that the group is the right setting for what you are bringing, and that you are the right addition to the group that is already forming. Not everyone who inquires will be the right fit for a particular group at a particular time, and I will be honest with you about that.
Groups meet at a fixed time each week or bi-week. Commitment matters here — the work of a group depends on consistency of membership. I ask for a minimum 8-session commitment when you join. If you need to leave the group before that commitment is met, we will discuss it individually.
Confidentiality in group therapy works differently than in individual therapy. What is shared in the group stays in the group — by all members, not just by me. This agreement is established clearly at the outset and is part of what makes the space safe enough to do real work.
Waitlist & Forming Groups
Some groups have a waitlist. Others are currently forming and will begin once membership is complete. If you are interested in a group that is not yet open, I encourage you to reach out — your inquiry helps me understand the demand and build the group with the right people.
