Therapy Groups
Mixed-Gender Trauma Process Group: This process-oriented group is for adults interested to discover more about who they are and how they relate to other people. Group members practice "putting thoughts and feelings into words” and work to express their thoughts, feelings and reactions as freely and honestly as possible.
Men’s Trauma Process Group: A 10-week series for male-identified adults. Co-facilitated with Dr. Adam Gladstone. There is a strong psycho-educational component focusing on the impact of trauma on individuals’ physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual health, while also recognizing the environmental and societal contexts for trauma.

Testimonials
“Over several years Jocelyn has facilitated meaningful workshops for Survivor Theatre Project in our Healing Through Creative Arts workshop series. Her approach is always above and beyond what we could hope for, both in the planning process and in the experience of the workshop itself...In the workshops themselves I have repeatedly watched Jocelyn's calm warm tone and thoughtfully designed sequence of activities lead people to a place of trust and openness that invites deep healing. The resulting energy of connection and willing vulnerability in the room moves me every time. She manages to pace the workshops so that people have time to share if they wish without crowding too many people into the last few minutes. Thus, right up to the closing Jocelyn honors the spaciousness that allows people to stay connected to their own rhythms. This experience of abundant caring attention and respectful sharing is a powerful antidote to trauma. Jocelyn has a gift of compassionate leadership that will benefit any group she leads.”
-Martha Rogers, Healing Through Creative Workshop Series Coordinator
Jocelyn is a professional with a broad skill set in human services. One of which is her role as a group facilitator where she provides psycho-education and life skills. I was very impressed with her ability to maintain group work dynamics--holding group context, summarizing, profoundly reflecting back to the group, as well as sitting in silence to allow the group members to formulate their own thoughts. I was also inspired by her creative drive to improve access to wellness. She has a strong ability to create and nurture new partnerships. Collaborators from outside facilities brought enrichment to the agency that the community members perhaps would not otherwise have found; she has improved the lives of many people with her dedication and passion for the work. She is a compassionate person with high integrity. I would recommend Jocelyn for future work in human services
