Process Therapy Groups

Students sitting in a group circle

These confidential groups are contained settings where students can speak on and get support for a variety of topics. There is a focus on the interactions among group members as they give each other feedback on interpersonal styles and identify ways in which they feel more connected to one another. All groups are free for CU students and will be held at the CAPS main office in C4C N352. Please see group options available below.

Get Started

Advance sign-up and a pre-group screening are required for all groups. Please contact CAPS or stop by for a walk-in to schedule a group screen appointment.

Topic-Specific Process Groups

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.

Fall 2019 Schedule

Mondays, 1:15 to 2:30 p.m. with Megan Shih, MSW and Lauren Mirzakhali, MSW

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.

Fall 2019 Schedule

Fridays, 3 to 4:30 p.m. with Josh Goldman, LCSW

Transgender and Gender Creative Group

This group welcomes CU students of all ages and backgrounds who identify as cross-gendered, transgender, gender variant and gender queer to a supportive space. This group will focus on encouraging individuals towards personal development, creating and utilizing workable coping skills and providing acceptance of each person’s unique journey.

Fall 2019 Schedule

Mondays, 1 to 2:15 p.m. with Matt Heermann, PsyD

Grief and Loss Group
