healing the past...engaging the present...creating the future

Anyone going through divorce, separation or the ending of a significant relationship knows that it’s a time when people need understanding, support and a way to develop coping skills that will make everyday life more manageable and the future more hopeful. Research tells us that group therapy is an effective and affordable resource for those in the midst of stressful life situations. A small group provides a safe place where both adults and kids can work through their feelings of loss, anger and grief and--at the same time--develop skills that will help them move through painful transitions.
Divorce Lifeline Group Therapy begins with a call to Samaritan’s Divorce Lifeline Coordinator, Rob Erickson at 206-527-2266 ext. 370. He will arrange a fifty minute intake interview at a cost of $50. If group therapy is an appropriate option for you and/or your child, you’ll join a small group of up to eight people. Adult groups meet once a week for an hour and a half for 8 weeks. Kids groups meet for one hour for 8 weeks, plus two one-hour parent meetings.
The next eight-week Adult Therapy Group will begin February 27th, meeting on Monday evenings from 7 to 8:30 in Seattle at our Main Office near Green Lake, led by Rob Erickson, a licensed marriage and family therapist on the Samaritan staff. Fees for therapy are based on the participants’ income and range from $20 to $50 for each group therapy session. Fee assistance for those with very limited incomes may be available.
For more information about Divorce Lifeline Therapy Groups for adults and children or about other Samaritan services, including individual therapy for children and adults, family therapy, and mediation services, contact Rob Erickson at 206-527-2266 ext. 370.
Like all Samaritan programs, Divorce Lifeline groups welcome people of all lifestyles, faiths and backgrounds.
