Encounter Group
Rochester, NY
Every Thursday, 7pm - 8:30pm

If you are interested in joining/learning more about the group, please contact Igor for a screening interview.  The next group begins September 2023. 

This group gathers people to support each other in overcoming hardships and developing a more fulfilling life. Through sharing experiences, participants offer encouragement and comfort to the other group members and receive the same in return.

These interpersonal interactions allow group members to deepen their self-awareness, learn how they relate to others, and receive multiple perspectives in a safe and confidential environment.
