Group Therapy At The Dwelling Place

Anne Jansen, LPC had the great privilege of training with and working for Dr. Curt Thompson and his team at New Story Behavioral Health over the past 3 years. In her work with them, she has led Confessional Community Intensives in Washington DC and offered clinician training for therapists around the U.S. who desire to practice this model of group therapy.

Bringing this model of therapy to the Grand Rapids, Michigan area was her biggest dream. She has witnessed first hand the life-changing transformation that can happen through group therapy.

At The Dwelling Place, time-limited Confessional Communities and other therapy related groups are

  • 12-weeks long

  • In-person

  • Combination of psychoeducational and process group therapy

  • $100/session
