Dynamic, Rapid Transformation Through Group Process
Many minds and hearts working together can help solve problems and soothe hurts that may seem impossible. I am always amazed and awed by the positive energy generated by the group process and the speed at which people feel better and make changes. No one likes to feel alone with problems - a group works together to solve life’s challenges.
All groups are offered periodically. For schedule information, please contact me at 215-917-0032 or stephaniecostello@yahoo.com.
I offer several specialty groups:
The Artist’s Way
The Artist’s Way is a 12-week course based on The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. This program uses a 12-step approach to creativity and personal growth. Members learn to challenge negative thoughts and feelings to break through barriers to acknowledge their deeper selves and achieve cherished goals. Simple daily exercises and tasks (journaling, reflection, self-care) lead to profound increases in motivation, self-worth, progress toward goals and often a lessening of pain, anxiety and depression.
The program is great for artists, writers and actors who are “stuck” in their careers, but it is equally effective for all people including veterans and people with chronic illnesses. It is not a therapy group, but it is very therapeutic.
Participants say:
- "The group was miraculous."
- "Stephanie's leadership made it safe for me to risk opening up -I am so relieved."
- "I never thought of myself as creative - Now I do and I am!"
- "I have so much energy and life is great again."
