Group Therapy in Rockville Centre, NY
Marta Laurette, a psychotherapist in Rockville Centre, offers several specialized group therapy options designed to support insight, emotional growth, and meaningful change. Each group draws from evidence-based approaches—including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—to help participants better understand themselves and develop practical tools for everyday life.
Marta Laurette's Relational Process Group provides a powerful space for members to understand themselves through real-time interpersonal interactions. Guided by psychodynamic therapy principles, the group focuses on how individuals relate to others, how they respond emotionally in the moment, and how past relational patterns influence current behavior. Participants explore communication styles, emotional reactions, and relational dynamics within a supportive and confidential setting. Through this process, they gain deeper self-awareness, learn to express themselves more authentically, and develop healthier ways of connecting outside the therapy room. This group is especially valuable for individuals who want to improve relationships, strengthen emotional insight, or understand how their internal world affects their interactions with others.
Marta Laurette's Anxiety Management Group integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and elements of Acceptance Commitment Therapy to help members develop effective strategies for managing anxiety. The group provides a structured, compassionate environment in which participants learn to identify triggers, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and practice new skills that reduce distress. Techniques such as grounding, paced breathing, cognitive reframing, and acceptance-based approaches are introduced and practiced within the group setting. Members benefit not only from learning practical tools, but also from sharing experiences with others who understand the challenges of anxiety. Over time, participants build confidence in their ability to manage symptoms and respond to stress with greater flexibility and resilience.
In her Meditation Group, Marta Laurette teaches practices that foster calm, presence, and emotional regulation. This group offers a gentle introduction to meditative techniques such as guided imagery, breath awareness, and body-based mindfulness. Participants learn how to quiet internal noise, tune into their physical and emotional states, and cultivate a more grounded, centered way of being. These skills support stress reduction, improve emotional balance, and complement the work done in individual therapy, couples therapy or group therapy. The group is suitable for both beginners and those seeking to deepen a regular mindfulness practice.
Across all her groups, Marta Laurette creates an environment of safety, curiosity, and respect. Her integrative approach helps participants develop insight, build coping skills, and form meaningful connections that support long-term well-being.
