Recovery. Creativity. Honest conversation.
Group Therapy at Right Place Counseling
Explore groups centered on substance use recovery, the creative life, and the conflicting expectations men face. Each group has its own focus, with room for conversation, reflection, and connection.
We offer 2 distinct substance use recovery groups.
Both groups are structured to foster conversation that respects the power of addiction while valuing personal choice. The theme is to create your own recovery adventure, with a little help from your friends.
Substance Use Recovery Groups
01 / Substance use recovery
A different path
Recovery Rewritten
For those who want to try something different from the non-12-Step model.
A next chapter
Next Steps
For those who want to elevate or reframe their 12-Step experience.
We will examine where you want to go and the obstacles that stand in your way. We will explore the power of political, cultural, and family influences that are taboo in other arenas. The ultimate objective is to build a life so full that the desire for drugs and alcohol is no longer meaningful.
Recovery Rewritten
Next Steps
02 / Creative life
Femme Creative Group
Your artistic life decisions do not have to be made in a vacuum.
This group is a place for femme creatives to share experience, to bring contemplation and desperation, to receive comfort and context, and to find community and inspiration.
Tap Into the Current
Men's Group
03 / Men's experiences
Right now, voicing an honest opinion in public forums can be a fraught experience for a man.
This group is a space for guys to talk openly about conflicting expectations in our lives and process ideas that are often squelched before they are fully formed in conversation. The ultimate objective is to show up in our lives with a deeper respect for others and for ourselves.
