How it Works

Problems in love and work, as well as troubling symptoms like depression and anxiety, often lead people to seek therapy.  The therapists at the Dallas Group Analytic Practice develop a helping relationship with each individual, so that the symptoms that led to therapy can be safely explored and understood.  The support that group analytic psychotherapy provides allows for the safe exploration of painful problems and resolution of the conflicts that underlie them.

As trust develops, individuals are free to explore their inner feelings related to anger, intimacy, and spirituality.  Before treatment, these feelings are frequently blocked and unavailable in useful ways.  Group analysis can often help individuals see themselves in new ways; it can be thought of as emotional education resulting in lasting changes.  Therapy frequently ends with a greater sense of personal freedom to make wise choices for oneself in one's community.

Does it Work?

Yes.  The DGAP clinicians collectively have over 50 years experience in studying and running psychotherapy groups.  Throughout these many groups, people have consistently made positive enduring changes in their lives.   There is also a great deal of research that has shown that psychotherapy is effective and that group psychotherapy is as effective as individual  psychotherapy and in some cases more so. 

This type of therapy is effective for a broad range of problems:

Relationship Difficulties
Depression
Fears and Anxiety
Motivational Problems
Life Transitions
Stress
Emotional Trauma
Sexual Problems
Psychosomatic Difficulties
Eating Disorders

  Privacy

Those seeking psychotherapy have valid concerns about their privacy.  Therapy groups develop a sense of trust that ensures members' commitment to one another's privacy.

Cost

By focusing on group therapy, we have found a way to bring our years of experience together to offer an affordable in-depth therapy option.   Group is more and less than individual therapy.  Not all individuals are ready for group analytic psychotherapy.  When group is not the treatment of choice, individual psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, couples and family therapy, medication or referral to our broad professional network is available.  Group members tend to work in group for 1 to 3 years.  The groups meet 40 weeks per year and the fee is averaged across 12 months.

Once a week group   $200 / month
Twice a week group $400 / month
Couples group $400 / month
Initial consultation $150 / hour
Individual therapy Fees individually arranged
