Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
MBSR is the "gold standard" in stress reduction and creating a long-standing mindfulness practice. This 8-week group entails learning and practicing a variety of mindfulness exercises while working as a group to learn how to use these skills in daily life. This is great for anyone wanting to learn how to work with vs. against their internal experience (i.e., thoughts, emotions, sensations), struggling with stress/burnout, dealing with mental health difficulties, or find a greater sense of quality of life and wellbeing.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)
MSC is an 8-week, 2-hour group that teaches you to be more self-compassionate to yourself and others. The goal of this therapy is to move from a critical inner coach to a more self-accepting, kind, and motivational inner coach. This class offers a variety of practices, meditations, and education to experience different ways of being more self-compassionate. Next MSC group is TBD. Please email Dr. Yabko if interested. Day and time are either Monday or Thursdays with start times ranging 4:30 to 6pm and determined by majority consensus of those interested in group.

Interpersonal Process and Support Group
This group focuses on in-the-moment relationships between group members, transforming suffering into understanding, compassion, and emotional intimacy. Our difficulties are often caused by tension, disconnection, etc. between your relationship to yourself and others. Providing and giving feedback is not a daily occurrence. Members get a “social/relational lab” in which to understand how you and others impact one another to make change in the group, which often leads to new ways of thinking, feeling, and being outside of the group so that you can find lasting change in your life. This is a unique, powerful and challenging opportunity.
