Scarborough Group Room 
We are excited to announce a brand new outpatient therapy group for women that utilizes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
 
DBT is an evidenced-based approach that offers an array of cognitive behavioral strategies to help individuals learn to better manage their emotions, behaviors, relationships and life challenges while developing a stronger connection to the world they live in. We believe DBT is an effective therapy option for many of our clients.
 
The DBT group is held in Scarborough and focuses on developing skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. This open group is women-only and can be joined at any time.

 

When: Thursdays, 11:00am - 12:30pm

Who: Women
Counselor: Beata A. Wiktor, LCPC, Psy.D.

Where: Greater Portland Counseling Center,

Living With Chronic Pain Starts on February 26

Kennebunk Group Room 

Crossroads is bringing back its chronic pain group for women in February. Living with Chronic Pain is an 8-week therapy group intended for women seeking both professional and peer support for chronic pain in a nurturing environment. 

 

Offered at Kennebunk Counseling Center, this group offers both cognitive behavioral and humanistic strategies for coping with pain in order to achieve greater fulfillment in life. 

 

Group members will develop greater insight into how thoughts, feelings and behaviors affect the perception and experience of pain. Participants will also learn about the biological bases of chronic pain and what this means for pain management. 

 

Group members can reflect and gain support from one another, as well as practice relaxation and distraction techniques in order to better manage their pain. 

 

When: Tuesdays, 1:00pm - 2:30pm starting on 2/26/13
Who: Women

Counselor: Dr. Carol Leonard

Where: Kennebunk Counseling Center,
