Process Therapy Groups

Creating Safety to Move Past Trauma Group

This group is intended to help individuals who have had a traumatic experience deal with the past, feel safe in the present, and move towards the future. By offering a space to feel supported and the opportunity to learn healthy skills for safely managing the present, this group aims to allow individuals to develop a sense of strength, security and empowerment that may be hard to find after experiencing trauma.

Students of Color Group

Being a person of color in a predominately white environment is a complex and often stressful experience.  The Student of Color (SoC) group serves as a way to openly engage in dialogues around what it means to be a student of color on this campus. The SoC group ultimately serves as a resource for students of color to unapologetically show up and let themselves be fully seen and known, where they can speak from the heart rather than worrying about what is socially acceptable. In a supportive and therapeutic environment, students will have the opportunity to deepen self-understanding and explore ways of relating to others.

Summer 2022 Schedule

• Mondays, 2:15-3:30 p.m. with Ben Ototovio, PhD and Abeer Al-Hussein, MSW

Women of Color Process Group

This group provides a safe space for women of color to deepen understanding of themselves and others, to find community, to openly engage in dialogue about the impact of being a woman of color on campus, to explore and process experiences, and to give and receive support from others surrounding a multitude of life issues.

Summer 2022 Schedule

• Thursdays, 1-2:15 p.m. with Karen Hamilton-Stokes, PsyD, LPC

International Students Group

This group welcomes CU international students of all ages, education levels and backgrounds. It provides a safe and supportive space for international students to understand themselves in the context of a new culture while learning ways to navigate common challenges. The group helps students find a supportive community of people going through similar experiences of adjusting to a new language, a new way of life while keeping their own cultural identity and the customs of their home country.
