Angela understands that process addictions are not merely isolated behaviors; they often reflect deeper psychological issues and misguided attempts to cope with emotional distress. Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers a comprehensive framework for examining the intricate workings of the mind. It allows individuals to investigate the underlying desires and unmet emotional needs that contribute to these addictions.

Longing and Belonging Psychotherapy Group

The "Longing and Belonging" psychotherapy group is designed for individuals facing deep feelings of emptiness and disconnection. This bi-weekly group encourages participants to express what is on their minds, transforming vague feelings and thoughts into clear conversations. Sessions are structured to engage members in real-time discussions, allowing them to explore their emotional landscapes, share their stories, and actively listen to one another. As a result, participants gain valuable insights into their experiences and the relationships that shape their lives. This collective journey helps individuals find their voices and fosters a strong sense of belonging within the group. Together, members navigate the complexities of their emotional challenges, cultivating deeper connections and initiating meaningful healing on their paths to fulfillment.

Angela highly recommends a combination of individual and group psychotherapy to treat process addictions.
