Group Healing
Psychodynamic Groups: The Circle of Insight
What it is: Psychodynamic group work is a "living laboratory" for the soul. Based on the principle that we are wounded in relationship and must be healed in relationship, these groups offer a safe, confidential space to explore the unconscious patterns that drive your behavior. Unlike "support groups" that focus solely on a shared struggle, these are Depth Groups. We utilize the "Shadow Work" framework to identify the parts of ourselves we have hidden, denied, or projected onto others. By bringing these "roots" into the light of the group circle, we begin the process of integration and authentic connection.
What to expect: In these sessions, the group acts as a "mirror." You will be guided through structured exercises and open-ended processing that reveal your Persona (the mask you wear) and your Shadow (the hidden self). We explore "here-and-now" interactions—looking at how you show up in the room, how you handle conflict, and where you seek approval. It is a slow, intentional, and deeply resonant process. You can expect to be challenged, supported, and ultimately seen in a way that breaks the isolation of the "perfect" persona.
Who it helps: This is for the person who feels "stuck" in their relational patterns, individuals struggling with "people-pleasing" or social anxiety, and those who want to deepen their self-awareness through the eyes of others. It is a powerful space for healers and therapists to work through their own "relational weeds" in a peer-supported environment.
The Benefits: The primary benefit is Relational Harmony. By seeing your patterns reflected in the group, you gain the power to change them in real-time. Benefits include increased emotional intelligence, the reduction of "social shame," and a profound sense of belonging. You will learn to navigate boundaries with authenticity and move from "performing" in your life to truly participating in it.
Trauma Integration Groups: The Collective Reset
What it is: The Trauma Integration Group is a neurobiologically-informed space designed to help you move out of "survival mode" and into a state of Harmony. Utilizing the principles of Critical Memory Integration (CMI), we focus on the somatic (body-based) and emotional residue that trauma leaves behind. This isn't a "venting" group where we re-live the details of our pain; instead, it is a structured, somatic laboratory where we work to integrate fragmented memories and release the "stored energy" that keeps us stuck in fight, flight, or freeze. We address the Emotional Energy Centers of the body, recognizing that trauma is not just a story we tell, but a physical experience we carry.
What to expect: You can expect a high-safety, low-pressure environment focused on nervous system regulation. Sessions include guided Critical Memory Integration exercises, somatic grounding, and work centered on the body’s energy centers (such as the heart, gut, and throat) where trauma often "lodges." We also dedicate significant time to the process of Forgiveness and Release—not as a moral obligation, but as a clinical tool to unburden the soul from the weight of the past. You will learn to identify where trauma lives in your body and use collective somatic tools to "flush" the system and restore your internal soil.
Who it helps: This is for individuals living with Complex Trauma (C-PTSD), generational trauma, or chronic nervous system dysregulation (feeling "wired but tired"). It is for those who feel that their past is a physical weight they can't seem to set down. It is also an incredibly restorative space for clinicians and healers who have absorbed the emotional energy of their clients and need a communal space to release and recalibrate.
The Benefits: The primary benefit is Somatic Liberation. By working in a group, you benefit from the "mirroring" of others’ healing, which helps your own nervous system feel safe enough to let go. Benefits include a significant reduction in physical "triggers," improved emotional regulation, a sense of "lightness" in the body, and the resolution of the deep-seated shame that trauma often leaves in its wake. You move from feeling "fragmented" to feeling Integrated.
Brain Health Groups: The Biological Blueprint
What it is: The Brain Health Group is a curriculum-based "mastermind" for your mind. Based on the world-renowned Amen Clinics 4 Circles of Wellness, this group moves away from vague mental health labels and focuses on the physical organ of the brain. We believe that your brain is the "hardware" of your soul; if the hardware isn't functioning correctly, no amount of talk therapy will fully "stick." In this group, we look at the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that influence your brain's performance. It is a collaborative space where we move from "surviving" symptoms to "optimizing" systems.
What to expect: This is an educational and action-oriented group. You can expect to learn about the 7 Brain Subtypes and identify which one aligns with your experience. We dive deep into "Brain-Rehab" protocols—discussing everything from targeted nutrition and high-quality supplementation to sleep hygiene and environmental toxins. You will be guided through a thorough audit of your lifestyle, learning how to "feed" your brain for focus, calm, and joy. These sessions are highly practical, providing you with a "user manual" for your specific brain type in a supportive, peer-led environment.
Who it helps: This is the perfect group for those struggling with brain fog, ADHD, chronic anxiety, or treatment-resistant depression. It is also a vital space for caregivers and clinicians who want to protect their cognitive longevity and prevent burnout. If you have ever felt like your "willpower" isn't enough to change your mood, this group will show you why—and how to fix the biology behind it.
The Benefits: The primary benefit is Biological Empowerment. You will walk away with a personalized "Brain Health Plan" that actually works for your physiology. Benefits include improved mental clarity, stabilized moods, better sleep quality, and a profound reduction in the shame that comes from "unexplained" mental health struggles. By tending to the physical "soil" of your brain, you create the harmony necessary for your authentic self to finally thrive.
Parenting Ecosystems: The Science of Connection
What it is: The Parenting Ecosystems group is a neuro-sequenced approach to raising children. Instead of focusing on traditional discipline or "compliance," we look at the Biological and Developmental roots of your child’s behavior. Using the principles of Attachment Theory and Neurodevelopment, this group helps parents understand the "why" behind the "what." We view the parent-child relationship as a vital root system—when the connection is secure and the environment is optimized, resilience grows naturally. This is a space to move from reactive parenting to Present Parenting, grounded in science and deep empathy.
What to expect: This group is part "brain-lab" and part "soul-sanctuary." You will learn how to map your child's developing brain, identifying when they are operating from their "survival brain" versus their "thinking brain." We dive deep into Tantrum Triggers, teaching you how to de-escalate the nervous system rather than just punishing the behavior. Expect to engage in honest conversations about your own "parenting triggers" and the generational patterns you may be unintentionally passing down. You will leave with a toolkit of somatic grounding techniques for both you and your child, and a clear roadmap for fostering long-term resilience.
Who it helps: Parents of children of all ages, foster and adoptive parents, and "highly sensitive" parents who feel overwhelmed by the emotional demands of child-rearing. It is also an invaluable resource for clinicians who are parents, as it provides a space to integrate their professional knowledge with their personal lived experience without judgment.
The Benefits: The primary benefit is Relational Harmony. By shifting your perspective from "managing" your child to "tuning into" your child, you significantly reduce the stress and conflict in your home. Benefits include fewer power struggles, a deeper emotional bond with your child, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing you are building a foundation of resilience that will last them a lifetime.
The Roots Book Club: Theory-into-Practice
What it is: The Roots Book Club is a "Literary Lab" for the human experience. Most book clubs stay at the surface of the plot; we go to the depths of the psyche. In these groups, we select foundational texts in neuroscience, trauma, and soul-work—books like The Body Keeps the Score, The Drama of the Gifted Child, or The Mountain is You—and we dismantle them chapter by chapter. We don’t just read for information; we read for transformation. We bridge the gap between the words on the page and the "roots" of your own life.
What to expect: You can expect a high-level, clinician-guided discussion that feels like a cross between a masterclass and a processing group. Each meeting involves a "Clinical Deep-Dive" where I explain the science or psychology behind the author's message. We then move into "Personal Integration," where we discuss how these concepts show up in your internal world. You will be provided with "Integration Prompts" for each chapter to help you apply the work between meetings. It is a slow, methodical journey through the best minds in healing, shared with a community of like-minded seekers.
Who it helps: This is for the "lifelong learner"—those who have a shelf full of self-help books but struggle to apply the concepts to their own life. It is perfect for those who want the depth of therapy but enjoy the structure of a curriculum. It is also an excellent "entry point" for those new to Roots Healing who want to experience the philosophy of brain-health and shadow work in a communal, lower-pressure setting.
The Benefits: The primary benefit is Cognitive & Soulful Clarity. By processing these texts in a group, you gain a 360-degree view of the material that you couldn't get reading alone. Benefits include a deeper vocabulary for your own experiences, the deconstruction of old mental models, and a community of "study partners" who are all committed to the same path of authenticity and growth.
