 In this group we will aspire to:

• Practice nonjudgment and compassion.
• Nurture joy and soul-full sustenance.
• Engage and empower our innate skillfulness.
• Honor diverse realities and experiences.

The group process will be informed by an anti-oppressive lens with integration of trauma-responsive practices, mindfulness, and evidence-based strategies to address difficulties commonly experienced by behavioral health practitioners. Group members will also co-create their experience. 

Jillian Wright, LPCC, LADC (she/her) offers this group as a love letter to the many kinds of helpers. The concept and guiding structure for this group is informed by 20 years of conditions, training, education, and lived experience. Jillian has nearly 10 years in the field in a variety of settings and currently works in a full-time role which affords her a macro-perspective on many practice settings.

Are you considering Prolonged Exposure Therapy for the treatment of trauma and/or PTSD, but want to know more about it? There is no better or more impactful way to learn about a therapy modality than to hear from someone who has been through and helped by it. Meet David, a Vietnam veteran and former patient of Jackie Wright, LICSW. David had a very successful course of PE and speaks about his experience, before, during, and after PE in this video, featured on the National Center for PTSD website. 

But what about after trauma-focused therapy? In this video, David discusses the sustainable changes he was able to make both in PE and beyond his active treatment.
