Interpersonal Process (IP) Group
The Interpersonal Process (IP) Group is specifically designed to help individuals make positive changes in how they relate to themselves and others.
Prospective group members are aware of the recurring patterns in their relationships that have negatively affected their lives and are interested in changing these patterns. While they may have previously attempted to make changes in their relationship patterns, many have experienced limited success in effectively instituting and maintaining these changes. The IP Group is designed to help members effectively identify and address these patterns.

IP Group FacilitatorS
The IP Group is led by Dr. Rich Pazol and Dr. Tom Rogat. Drs. Pazol and Rogat are licensed psychologists with a combined 25+ years’ experience conducting individual and group psychotherapy with adolescents and adults.
What to Expect
The IP Group is both interpersonal and process-oriented. IP Group members will have the opportunity to observe their own and other IP Group members’ emotions, thoughts, behaviors and reactions and will focus on sharing their own reactions as they occur (i.e. in the “here and now”). Through this interactive process, IP Group members will begin to better understand their own reactions and their relationship patterns. In addition, members often gain insight into how they are perceived by others, how others’ experiences of them differ from how they perceive themselves, how the ways in which they communicate can enhance or impede their relationships, and how easily others can relate to their situations and experiences.
logistics
We currently have two IP Groups running and we are accepting referrals. The IP Group is for adults (18 years and older). Each Group meets for 90 minutes on a weekly, ongoing basis.
The IP Group will continue in perpetuity and prospective group members will be welcomed as vacancies present themselves. An initial phone screening is required for individuals interested in joining the group and can be arranged by contacting me.

Navigating Grief Group
The Navigating Grief Group is a weekly, online, grief support group for those grieving the death of a loved one.
The group provides an opportunity for participants to talk through their experiences and receive validation and support from others in a safe, nonjudgmental, and caring environment. It also allows members to establish and deepen connections with others in order to decrease the sense of isolation and estrangement that is often a part of the grieving process.
