Provider Types

This is a group practice with multiple providers, including:

  • Clinical Social Work/Therapists
  • Drama Therapists
  • Pre-Licensed Professionals

Are you struggling with feelings of disconnection and isolation? Are you too self-critical or perfectionistic and want to work on your self-esteem and sense of self? Do you want to learn how to let go, have fun, and live in the moment? Do you want to get more in touch with your playful and creative inner child? Does the idea of doing improv comedy make you feel nervous, but you’re intrigued? Do you like to laugh?

Within a small, supportive group of 4-7 people that meets for eight weeks, you will learn how to be more compassionate towards yourself so that you can feel calmer and more connected to other people, more often! You will practice your self-compassion skills in real-time through tailored improv comedy exercises that are designed to support you on the path toward increasing your self-acceptance and self-confidence.

At its core, improv comedy helps you to take risks, make mistakes, and not take yourself so seriously. We will laugh a lot : )

Past clients have said…

“I always felt nervous to go, but felt like something had been released after each session."

“I love the space to talk about what we are dealing with. I have never been actually excited to go to therapy until finding this group.”

"The play and improv was beneficial for my perfectionism because I got to experience just diving into things."

"I loved connecting with people who I felt really understood me.”

“I am forever changed!”
