Group Counseling
You Don't Have to Face Life's Challenges Alone
This is a great time to take advantage of the unlimited counseling sessions offered in Groups.
In an effort to better serve you, we
are offering group counseling to DePaul students. Without compromising your privacy, you can learn more
about yourself and gain support from others. All are welcome to
take advantage of this opportunity regardless of race, gender, religion,
sexual orientation, disability or ethnicity; and we are committed to
providing you with the best services possible. A variety of groups are
offered at both the Lincoln Park Campus and the Loop Campus for students
who may be struggling with specific issues (e.g. grief/loss,
self-esteem), or would like to understand more about how they tend to
relate to others in general. Group counseling can be particularly
effective for a broad array of concerns. It not only offers
students an opportunity to get support and feedback from others, but
also to learn more about themselves in a unique and stimulating way.
Be on the lookout for these and other
groups that will be forming throughout the school year:
Meeting the Challenge of Relationships
This group is for students who would like to better understand & improve the quality of their relationships - with friends, family, & significant others. Also included is the relationship with one’s self and the group can be helpful in struggles with depression, anxiety, and self-worth. Three relationships groups are offered to better meet the scheduling needs of students.
Navigating New Waters:
Group for Freshmen and New Students
Come to this group if you are a new student who would like a safe and supportive place to discuss the challenges associated with adjusting to a new educational experience, and perhaps a new city and way of living as well.
Restorative Yoga Group
Indulge in an ideal experience of self-care. The unique yoga postures and guided imagery offers you a chance to tune in to yourself and your life. This group will allow you to bring a tranquil balance to body, mind, and spirit, enhancing well-being.
Sensing Self: Mind, Body, and Spirit
( Begins in Winter Quarter 06) This group focuses of six different approaches to relaxation: progressive relaxation, autogenic training, breathing exercises, yoga stretching, guided imagery and meditation. The group will meet six times with each session focusing on learning one technique. Ways to enhance relaxation by reducing shame and anxiety and widening the experience of self will also be discussed.
Common Ground: International Women Students
In this group, international women students come together to share common experiences and support one another in navigating a new cultural context and gender climate. Members make new connections with one another and find new resources.
