Mood and Anxiety Group

mood and anxiety group

Have you recently completed an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and are transitioning back to outpatient care? Or are you finding that you could benefit from the support of a group in addition to your weekly individual therapy sessions?

Navigating the transition from an IOP to an outpatient therapy setting can feel challenging. During this time people are beginning to implement newly-learned skills with a decreased level of support from what they were recently receiving.

Alternatively, reaching out for help and recognizing you might benefit from more support than just once-per-week therapy can feel scary or anxiety-provoking. Maybe your mental health concerns have started to impact your day-to-day life or have felt challenging to cope with.

The Mood and Anxiety Group provides small group support for individuals navigating this stage. Here you will find a space to talk about your struggles and challenges while receiving support and feedback from your peers. This group will also teach psychological skills from DBT, ACT, and mindfulness modalities.

Ideal candidates for this group are individuals who are stepping down from a higher level of care program or recognize they need more support than once-a-week therapy currently provides. This may also include individuals currently considering stepping up to or on a waiting list for a mood, anxiety, trauma, or dual diagnosis IOP who would like additional support. We ask for an 8-week commitment to help support the development of a safe space for all group members. We ask that you are also in individual therapy in addition to group.

Facilitated by psychologist Amanda (Snell) Stagg, Psy.D.

Mental health support isn’t just about therapy, Mental health support isn’t just about therapy, medication, teaching coping skills, or processing past trauma. We are committed to understanding how sociopolitical issues impact our mental health and the repeal of Roe vs Wade has us very concerned about the negative impact on women’s mental health. MPA Founder Jennifer Panning PsyD will be writing more about this issue in the near future. It is very difficult  to have good mental health when there are so many destabilizing factors in our society—we’ve seen the traumatic impact of the pandemic and impending fascism. We are committed to helping decrease anxiety, depression, and trauma…Let’s figure out a way to mobilize together to best navigate what may be another example of women being disrespected and disempowered.  #mindfulpsychologyevanston #mindfulpsychologyassociates #evanston #abortionishealthcare #abortionisawomansright #psychology #trauma #chicagotherapist #psychologistsofinstagram #anxiety #depression
Great news for #evanston! Thanks to city council a Great news for #evanston! Thanks to city council and Mayor Biss for approving funding to build a mental health “Living Room” resource center as an alternative to emergency rooms when people are experiencing a psychiatric crisis and need supportive services. This will be a valuable addition to the community to address mental health needs.

Thanks @newyorkercartoons for summing up current r Thanks @newyorkercartoons for summing up current reactions and feelings about the #covid_19 #pandemic…lots of talk in therapy sessions about how to cope with the roller coaster of emotions surrounding the pandemic as well as other major sociopolitical stressors…we stand consistent with recommending minimizing media consumption, finding ways to access joy and creativity, and noticing what is in and out of our control.
