Group Dynamics | An Interpersonal Lens

Coming March 2024

The key skill for group facilitators lies in comprehending and navigating group dynamics. While many can deliver information or guide exercises, advanced facilitators excel at tuning into the underlying group dynamics for potent healing and transformation.

Throughout this course, you will learn to identify, understand, and effectively utilize group dynamics for transformation. Additionally, you’ll develop skills to address challenging group dynamics and create interventions that enhance safety, cohesion, and connection.

What People Are Saying

The time I spent at the CSU Health Network in group supervision with Carrie taught me more than any other experience in my graduate studies - in fact, it taught me more than any professional development program I've participated in. I learned about myself and my personal triggers, about group dynamics, about recognizing and attending to the energy in the room, about how to co-lead alongside another practitioner, about common themes that clients presented and how to support those clients, and how to support the entire group as an entity in moving forward so that the participants could do the work they came to do. I take any opportunity I can to be in Carrie's presence - she has a profoundly powerful ripple.

I took a group facilitation seminar with Carrie and she has been one of the most insightful teachers of group process I have had. She really understands what is happening under the surface in interpersonal relationships and group dynamics. From the logistics of filling groups and screening members to the art of handling difficult group situations, Carrie has the expertise needed to create a transformative, healing environment in any type of group. Her style is experiential, not just talking about theory, but living and practicing the work directly. Carrie group instruction is well above the basics taught in most grad programs and I highly recommend her work if you want to be more effective and confident as a group leader.

I attended IPT Group training with Carrie during my time in graduate school at CSU. I found Carrie to be a very insightful, enthusiastic, and supportive supervisor. My training in IPT groups was so eye opening, and I believe it has been a vital contributor to my effectiveness with clients. Even though I am not currently facilitating any therapy groups, I continue to apply the IPT concepts and awareness that I developed during this training in my individual counseling sessions, and also in my daily life. IPT interventions are often some of the most beneficial interventions for relationship and insight building in my work with clients.

Group therapy training with Carrie helped to expand my knowledge about the benefits of group therapy, different group therapy styles, and ways to increase client commitment to group. Her warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive facilitation style allows for genuine, vulnerable growth opportunities as an individual as well as professional. I highly recommend Carrie's group therapy training.

I am so thankful for the training I received from Carrie at CSUHN during my MSW internship around group theory and practice. Carrie really helped me see the 'magic' of group therapy as well as the evidence around group intervention. She helped me develop confidence and a passion for treating clients in group therapy settings. Carrie is a very intentional teacher, therapist, and human and her authenticity and vulnerability make her very relatable in a training setting.
