Therapist's "Guide to Self-Care" Group

Helping others is our calling, but attending to our own needs is
essential to achieving our objective. For the mental health
professional who wants to create the life they truly want, this
support group focuses on listening to your own biopsychosocial
"signals" to maximize the things you enjoy, create an environment
you are happiest in, reserve ample time for re-creation, cultivate
rewarding collegial relationships, and get more of your important
tasks accomplished–in order to achieve personal satisfaction and
well-being. On-going bi-weekly small group format.
