Group therapy
At Inter-Being Psychologists, we offer group therapy as a powerful and effective treatment modality. Unlike individual therapy, group therapy works with real-time interpersonal dynamics. It offers a space where participants explore their relational patterns, emotional responses, and inner narratives in a shared environment. Rather than speaking to a therapist one-on-one, you enter into a dynamic setting where your ways of relating come to life through interactions with others. The group becomes a mirror and a catalyst—offering insight, feedback, and the opportunity to experiment with new behaviour in a safe and supportive context.
Group therapy can help uncover long-standing patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you. It offers a path to becoming more aware, connected, and authentic in your relationships—with others and with yourself.
We currently offer the following groups:
1) LONG-TERM GROUP THERAPY
Psychodynamic Group Therapy – Amsterdam (Long-Term Group)
Guided by experienced therapists Gideon van Gelder (psychiatrist) and Oda Liodden (psychologist).
