About the Group
​​
Many professionals function at a high level while quietly carrying ongoing interpersonal stress, role strain, and emotional pressure, often without a clear place to slow down or reflect on how these patterns take shape in relationships.
​
Over time, this kind of stress can affect mood, sleep, physical health, and a person’s sense of connection at work and beyond.
​
This in-person psychotherapy process group offers a structured, supportive space to explore how stress, emotions, and relational patterns show up in real-time interactions.
Rather than focusing on skills alone, the group centers on awareness, emotional flexibility, and interpersonal dynamics—how you respond to others, how roles get activated, and what becomes possible when those patterns are noticed and worked with directly.
​
The group is facilitated by a licensed clinician and emphasizes nervous system regulation, emotional capacity, and more sustainable ways of engaging in work and relationships.
​
This group may be a good fit if you are experiencing:
​​
-
Chronic stress or difficulty unwinding after work
-
Emotional overload, irritability, or shutdown
-
Trouble falling or staying asleep, or waking unrefreshed
-
Persistent tension, fatigue, or burnout
-
Interpersonal challenges in professional settings, such as difficulty fitting in, social anxiety, or feeling out of sync with team or organizational dynamics
-
A sense of being “always on”, even outside of work
-
Repeating relational patterns around expectations, boundaries, or performance

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a therapy group or a support group?
This is a psychotherapy group led by a licensed clinician. While the group is supportive, it is a clinical therapy group rather than a peer-led support or discussion group.
Who is this group for?​
​
This group is for professionals experiencing chronic stress, emotional strain, sleep difficulties, or interpersonal challenges in high-demand work environments.
​
Participants often function at a high level and may struggle with role pressure, relationship dynamics at work, difficulty slowing down, or feeling “out of sync” in professional settings.
​
This group may be a good fit for individuals who are interested in exploring how stress and relational patterns show up in real-time interactions, rather than focusing on skills or performance alone.
​
Do I need a formal diagnosis to join?
No formal diagnosis is required to participate. During the screening process, we’ll explore whether this group is a good clinical fit based on your experiences and goals.
​
Is this group focused on work performance or productivity?
No. While work stress is a common theme, the group focuses on emotional regulation, stress recovery, sleep, and relational patterns, rather than productivity, performance coaching, or workplace skills training.
Is this group in person or online?
This group meets in person at our Sunnyvale office. At this time, the group is not offered in a virtual or hybrid format.
What is the time commitment?
The group meets weekly on weekday evenings. Consistent attendance is encouraged to support group continuity and therapeutic progress.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Insurance is accepted, and eligibility is reviewed prior to joining. PPO and in-network plans may be eligible. Insurance benefits are reviewed before scheduling a consultation.
What if my insurance cannot be used?
When insurance cannot be applied to group therapy, limited sliding scale options may be considered based on availability.
​
Can this group be combined with individual therapy?
Yes. Group therapy can complement individual therapy by providing additional support, perspective, and opportunities to work with emotional and relational patterns. This can be discussed during the screening process.
