Group Therapy complements individual wellness plans
Accepting new patients for both the Physicians (MD/DO) and Childfree & Childless Women therapy groups. Groups are currently virtual and open to Maryland and Virginia residents. Please contact us for details.
Group work is ideal for those looking for ongoing support and the gradual therapeutic deepening that is part of a shared experience. To optimize the value of group psychotherapy for each person, and to maintain group cohesion, we ask that each participant commit to attending 8+ group sessions.
Our therapy groups are self-referred. Dr. Herbert will also communicate with your outside therapist, doctor, or psychiatrist. This collaboration is so we can determine together how group therapy best fits with your current difficulties, diagnostic picture, and treatment plan.
Psychotherapy Group Fees:
- Groups are charged per session. The 2025 fee for a group session is $60.
- There is a one-time individual evaluation and orientation session: $300 (60-minute appointment). In the individual appointment we review your mental health history and your current mental health treatment plan, including your goals for group therapy.
Our Foundation
Our groups are grounded in compassionate curiosity, self-direction, and working towards purpose in life. A flexible and dynamic skills practice is integrated into group sessions.
Groups Starting May 2025
Each group session is 75 minutes to allow for introductions and questions, as well as a full hour of discussion and skills practice.
- Physicians (MD/DO) Group: As physicians it is easy for us to just keep going–to be so busy with work and have our default experience be one of self-sacrifice. We may be well into burnout before we even notice! This confidential peer group allows for an authentic shared experience and working towards wellness. We acknowledge the ongoing sociocultural contributors to chronic stress, overwhelm, and the physical and emotional symptoms of exhaustion, depression, and anxiety.
- Tentative day/time: 7:30 PM on Wednesdays
- Childfree & Childless Women’s Group: This group is open to all people who identify as women and who do not have children. If you consider yourself “childless” and/or “childfree,” you are welcome to join us. Your perspective is valid. And your voice matters. This is a group for respectful telling and processing of similar and diverse experiences. We value and appreciate how you live as a woman without children in this world.
- Tentative day/time: 7:00 PM on Tuesdays
Group start dates to be determined once we have 5-10 people enrolled per group. All participants will be notified in advance of the start date for confirmation.
